Practice 1
Speaking Test: Parts 1-2-3-4
The Speaking Test assesses your ability to interact in conversational English with an examiner and with another
candidate. You need to be able to answer and ask questions about yourself and to talk freely about your likes
and dislikes. Candidates normally take the Speaking Test in pairs.
Speaking Part 1
Part 1 of the PET Speaking exam lasts about 2-3 minutes. During Part 1 the examiner will ask you some easy
questions to find out more about you such as about your studies, where you live or what hobbies or interests you
have. You do not have to give long answers to these questions. However, you should try to say more than short one
or two word answers.
You will need to use present, future and past tenses when you answer the questions.
Some of these words might be useful:
village, town, city, in the countryside, house, apartment
study, learn, full-time, part-time, self-study, evening classes, private lessons,
hobbies, relax, go shopping, play tennis/football ...
Student A and B are asked in turns. If you don't have anybody to do this speaking practice, play the 3 roles:
Examiner- Student A and Student B.
