This is an aisle speaking simulation self practice test three.
Let's begin.
If you've heard these instructions before, please skip forward and begin with part number one of the
speaking test just to review some of this information.
Each speaking test has different questions, so I'm giving you a variety of the types of questions you're
going to face on the exam.
So I'm speaking test ask questions as if you're a student.
Others will ask questions as if you're as if as if you have a job.
It's a good idea to go ahead and practice answering both styles of questions just to get more practice
answering questions.
I'm going to read out the instructions for each speaking part.
However, you can also pause and review those instructions for each speaking part four parts one and
three.
You should cover your screen.
So make sure if you if you don't have it, stop right now and get a manila folder or some colored paper
so you can cover up your screen so you can't see the questions for parts one and three.
Remember, for part one, you want to speak for 2 to 3 sentences for each question.
Part two speak the full 2 minutes addressing each point.
Part three Speak in 3 to 4 sentences for each question.
For Parts one and three, I will ask a question and then pause for about 5 seconds before asking the
next question.
So what you want to do after I ask you the question, press the space bar and pause the lecture, answer
the question, and then press the spacebar again so you can hear the next question.
Remember, do not look at the screen for parts one and three.
You will look at the screen for part number two.
Finally, I think it's a great idea to record your speaking test.
Everybody has a phone these days, so go ahead and get the Otter Eye application.
They have it for the Android and they have it for.
Apple PC versions, but you can upload your recording into the Otter website so you can get a transcription
of your speaking performance.
This is great for doing your own self assessment.
Remember to simulate the exam and don't cheat yourself.
At the end of the speaking test, there are instructions on how to do your own self assessment.
Let's get started.
Part one.
Cover your screen right down so you cannot see the questions.
I'm going to ask a question.
Pause for 5 seconds and then ask the next question.
Press the spacebar so you can pause and answer.
And then when you finish, start the video again so you can hear the next question.
Good luck.

Let's now move on to part two.
Now it's okay for you to uncover your screen for part two.
Part two is the only part where you can see the question.
I'm going to give you one minute to review the topic card and take notes, and afterwards you'll have
2 minutes to deliver your response.
Describe a time when you had to wait in a long queue or a line.
Please say, when was it?
How long was the queue?
Why did you have to wait and explain how you felt about waiting in this long line?

Please stop.
That's the end of your 2 minutes.
Well, we're going to now move on to part three.
All right.
So cover your screen so you cannot see the questions.
I'm going to ask a question.
Pause for about 5 seconds and then ask the next question.
You must press the spacebar and pause the video after each question so you can deliver your response.
Once you finish, press the spacebar and continue to the next question.
Let's begin.
So let's talk a little bit more about waiting in line.
First.
What do people like to do when waiting in line?
Next.
Do people of your country often wait in a queue?
Now.
Do you think development of technology has reduced waiting time in lines?
Finally, how can companies improve their customer service?
Okay.
Thank you so much for completing that third self practice test.
Make sure you listen to the recording of yourself so you can do a really good self assessment.
Look at the rubric for each part.
See where you stand in terms of your fluency, pronunciation, grammar, lexical ability.
Upload your recording into the Otter website so you can look at the transcription.
This will allow for you to examine your grammar and lexical ability.
Also, you can sort of check your pronunciation because if it's not transcribing what you think you
said, then there may be some issues on some words you need to work on.
In terms of pronunciation, the goal of these practice tests is for you to help make yourself better.
Also to increase your comfort level with answering questions.
It's a great idea to create a self assessment table so you can really examine yourself, improve yourself,
hopefully, if you've been making hesitations or doing a lot of hesitation in your speech.
In practice test one and practice test two.
Hopefully now you're doing it a little bit less if before.
In practice, test one and two, you were not paraphrasing the question, you were just repeating the
question, but now you're paraphrasing the question.
You should be able to see that improvement in speaking test one and two.
If you are not using a lot of great connectors and improving your sentence variety by making compound
and complex sentences with those core and the conjunctions, subordinate conjunctions and those and
those also those adverbs, however moreover.
Right so really look at yourself.
Let's keep on improving.
If you need to examine the band descriptors, please pause right here and look over them very carefully.
Thank you very much and I'll see you in the next practice test.
