Speaking Exam: Part 2

Many students think part 2 of the Speaking exam is one of the trickiest parts of the exam. This is because they do not think they can speak about a topic without pausing for 1 minute. After taking part in this lesson, you will know how to do this.

The format of Part 2

In Part 2 you need to talk about two pictures from a choice of three. The examiner tells you to compare the pictures and answer two questions. You will be able to see the two questions above the pictures. You should then talk for 1 minute. You should listen to the other candidate(s) as you will be asked a question about what they say. Your answer to this question should be approximately 30 seconds

Example Task

At this stage of the interview the examiner will say something on the lines of:

Q: In this part of the exam I'm going to give each of you three photographs and I'd like you to talk about them on your own for about a minute and also to answer a question briefly about your partner's photographs.

Q: Here are your pictures (Candidate A). They show people in different educational settings. I'd like you to talk about two of these photos and compare the settings and say how the students may be feeling in each one.

Q: All right?

Compare the settings and say how the students may be feeling in each one.

Notice there are TWO instructions here: first to 'compare and contrast' the photographs and also to speculate on how the students 'may be feeling'. 

In Part 2 you are required to show you can do more than simply describe and will need to speculate or hypothesize on a particular topic or scene.

Tips!

1. The photo set will have a general theme but try to find two that are either very similar or very different in some way. This will help you to compare and/or contrast the two pictures. In the example above, pictures two and three show two contrasting educational settings: the formal lecture theatre in picture two compared to the relaxed outdoor scene in picture three.

2. In terms of hypothesizing, pictures two and three offer a good opportunity to speculate on how students in each contrasting situation might be feeling. Think about opportunities for hypothesizing when choosing your pictures.

3. Signpost the end of your talk by adding a personal reaction to the pictures. For example:

'The two people in picture three look like they're enjoying themselves but personally, I think I'd prefer to spend my study time in a lecture theatre where I'd be more able to concentrate on learning'.

What language should I use to speculate?

Present

They could/might/may be…………..

They look as if they……………….

Their expressions suggest that……………….

Past

They could/might/may have just + past participle (very recent events)

They must have just + past participle (very recent events)

Student A: Your pictures show important events in people’s lives. Compare two of the pictures and say how the people might have prepared for these events and how they might be feeling.

Student B: Which of these events do you think would be most memorable? Why?

Student B: Your pictures show moments that people are sharing. Compare two of the pictures and say how important it might be to share moments like these with others and how long the people might remember these moments.

Student A: Which of these moments do you think has the most significance for the people? Why?

The passive

What is the difference?

Breaking news! A body was found in the park 

vs 

The police found a body in the park

They were probably murdered 

 vs 

 Somebody probably murdered them.

In the first case, the object (lijdend voorwerp) is more important than the subject (onderwerp)

In the second sentence we don't know for sure who the actor is (actor = person who does the action)

What is the difference?

Possible suspects are being interrogated 

vs 

The police is interrogating possible suspects

Mistakes were made during the investigation 

vs 

 John made mistakes during the investigation

In the first sentence the actor is so obvious we don't need to say who it is

In the second sentence, it might be rude to say who the actor is

Active & passive voice

Active voice: John kissed Mary

Passive voice: Mary was kissed by Mary

The object in the active voice becomes the subject in the passive voice

Passive voice: Subject + to be + voltooid deelwoord (+ by actor)
