1. Tell the class an interesting and true fact about yourself, e.g. Im getting married

in the autumn/Ive just taken an exam/I was really worried last week/etc.

2. Pause, and hopefully someone will ask you a follow-up question.

3. Answer it, and explain that asking questions is a very important part of the

speaking skill.

4. Write the following sentences on the board:

I never eat breakfast.

Im writing an important email.

I hate flying.

My mother is in the USA.

5. Tell students that they have to think of at least three questions for each piece

of information. N.B.If necessary, give them prompt words like why/what/how

long?/etc.

6. Divide the students into groups of four. One person in the group says one

of the sentences on the board and the other three have to ask them

questions. The person then has to invent answers and create a situation or

story: a sort

of role play.

7. When students have had enough time for each person to make a statement,

ask for some group feedback which was the strangest/funniest situation?

Handout 6 Part 2 Comparing photos FCE

1 Timing

Procedure

1. Students work in pairs. Student A is given a Part 2 task. They should describe

the first photograph for 1015 seconds, then move to the second photograph

and say what is similar and what is different from the first. Allow 1520 seconds

for this. Finally, student A addresses the task written above the photographs,

all the time mentioning similarities and differences. There will be approximately

2530 seconds left for this.2. Student B times student A, indicating when each block of time is up.

3. Students swap roles, and repeat the activity with a second pair of photographs.

Feedback

It is a good idea to practise this regularly to give your students a better feel forthe timing they should be able to gauge the amount of time to spend on each

photograph, and on the question. This will increase their confidence regardingPart 2 of the paper.
