Tip Strip

• The examiners want you to perform to the best of your ability and the test is designed to give you every opportunity to speak, but examiners can only rate what they hear from you. So make sure you speak up and use the time as effectively as possible.

• In Part 1, if the examiner asks you a question which can be answered by ‘Yes’ or ‘No’, try to give some extra information to extend your answer. Yes/No questions in English are often an invitation to say more.

• Make sure you answer the question you are asked. Do not come to the interview with a learned talk

The examiner will ask you questions about yourself, such as:

• What’s your name?

• Where do you live?

• What family members do you live with?

• What are you studying?

• What do you like about your studies?

•  What do you like about learning English?

• How often do you use English?
