In this video, we're going to be going over a practice set for speaking parts two and three.
This will be practice set a.
So first, let's go ahead and have a look at the instructions.
Number one, let's talk about the rules for looking at the screen, because the goal is for you to be
able to simulate the real exam.
So on part number two, you're going to see a topic card pop up on the screen.
And of course, you need to be looking at that at those questions.
So it's expected that you'll be looking at the screen at that time because you have to look at the topic
card and take notes on what you're going to say.
And then in terms of part number three, do not look at the screen because part number three is similar
to part number one.
The examiners will be asking you questions and you cannot see those questions.
So do not look at the screen when you're practicing answering those questions.
It also.
Number two, in regards to simulating the exam on part number two, when I say stop after one minute
of taking notes and I say, stop, stop right then.
And then after I say 2 minutes are finished and I say, stop, make sure you stop right then, because
that's the way that the real exam works.
They do not let you go over the two minute mark.
They do not let you go over the one minute mark.
So you have to be able to finish on time.
As we were doing in the in the practice sets for four part one, make sure you record yourself so you
can listen back to what you're going to say or make sure you use a really good speech to text software
so you can work on your pronunciation and have a written record of what you said so that you're able
to look back on it and improve.
Now make sure that you're going.
Make sure that you take notes for part number two.
So right now, if you don't have a piece of paper that's right next to you, paper and pencil and pen
so that you can take notes, you should go ahead and stop the tape right now and make sure you get that
in front of you so that you're ready to take notes.
So let's go ahead and move forward with the test, the way it's going to work.
Four part number two is going to appear on the screen.
Make sure you make sure you have your paper and pencil in front of you.
Right now, it's going to appear on the screen.
And then I'm going to give you one minute to take notes and then I'm going to give you 2 minutes to
give you a response.
So have a good practice.
All right.
So the topic card, describe a job your parents describe a job your grandparents did.
Describe a job your grandparents did.
Please say.
What was it?
Was it a difficult job?
Did he or she like it?
You will now have one minute to take notes and you may begin taking notes.
Now.
Okay.
Your time is up.
Please stop taking notes.
You will now have 2 minutes to give your response and you may begin speaking now.
Okay.
Time's up.
Please stop.
We are now moving on to part number three and part number three.
The topic is, of course, jobs.
Now, as I said earlier, you should not be looking at the screen right now.
Turn your face away from the screen.
Listen to the question and answer the question.
I'm going to give you about 40 to 50 seconds to to respond to the question.
Normally, you should be able to give a part three response at about 30 to 35 seconds.
I'm going to give a little bit more time than that.
A little bit more time than that, because I have some people that are at the beginning stage of really
working on this exam.
Some are more experienced.
So I have to give more time.
But if you're finishing up in about 35 to 40 seconds, then you're doing you're doing a good job.
Okay, so let's go go ahead and get started.
Here is question number one.
Can all workers be replaced by robots?
OC.
Please stop.
Question number two.
In what jobs?
Can robots replace people easily?
Please stop.
Final question.
What are the advantages or disadvantages of such a replacement?
All right, please stop.
That is the end of the test on the real exam.
At this point, the examiner would shake your hand and wish you a good day.
And then they would review their notes on how well you did on all three parts and assess you.
Thanks for participating and have a great day.
