Remember

• Speak in full sentences: My name is..... (Not just 'Derek')
• CAE: Parts 1 & 2 are individual / parts 3 & 4 your work together. 
• Make sure you speak enough, but that you also give your partner a chance to speak.
• Dead air is a crime.
• Check the classroom for the presentation with tips & tricks

Part 1

• Part 1 of CAE is a brief interview between the candidates and the examiner, which lasts for 2 minutes. 
• The examiner asks a few relatively simple questions about everyday topics. 
• The first impression: polite & full answers

Part 2

• Describing pictures
• In part 2, you have to speak for one minute about 2 out of 3 pictures provided while answering 2 questions about the pictures. 
• There is also a follow-up question about your partner’s pictures after they speak. 
• Your individual task this exam, so: stay organised, connect your ideas together and try to squeeze in a few impressive bits of vocabulary.

Part 3

• Collaboration: Discussing the wordweb
• Move your chairs to face each other to interact
• A diagram with a question and 5 different ideas 
• The first 2 minutes: to discuss the question using the ideas
• A follow-up question about the most/least/best/worst option. Listen carefully to the follow-up question because it’s not written down anywhere.
• Link your ideas to what your partner has said. Agree, disagree or expand upon their comments for higher marks.
• The options are there as a guide, not a requirement = you don't have to discuss all of them; details are better

Part 4

• Answering questions related to the Part 3. 
• The examiner will ask you and your partner questions, expecting you to give long, communicative and complex answers. 
• This should lead to an interesting conversation. 
• The discussion lasts for 5 minutes.
