2: Part 3 of the exam

The one part where you really have to interact with your partner and show that you can work well as a team is Speaking Part 3. If you show that you can use the right language and have a balanced conversation with another person under time pressure, you will score high marks quite easily. A typical example of Speaking Part 3 could look somewhat like this:You can see a structure that looks a little bit like a spiderweb. There is a question in the centre and five prompts around it. Speaking Part 3 always follows the same idea: Firstly, you discuss the question with your partner talking about the some of the five prompts for about two minutes and secondly, you have to make a decision based on the same five points in one minute.

3: Part 3 - Speaking cycle

Step 1: you qnd your partner discuss

In the discussion part you should mostly focus on well-structured answers, good language and interaction with your partner.This cycle looks something like this:

You can see that it is a back and forth between you and your partner and it always follows the same structure.

Step 2: interlocutor asks a question

The second section of Speaking Part 3 is different from the first one in a couple of ways. Number one, you have only one minute and number two, you have to reach an agreement instead of discussing the question in the spiderweb.
