In part 1 the examiner asks you questions about a number of topics. The type of personal questions the examiner can ask you are similar to the questions below:
1) What's you name?
2) What's your surname?
3) How do you spell it?
4) How old are you?
5) Where do you live?
6) Can you tell me something about... your family / your school?
7) Do you have any hobbies? What do you like doing in your free time?
8) What sports do you like?
9) What do you usually do at the weekend?
10) Why are you learning English?
11) What sort of music do you like?
There are always a number of questions where you speak about the PAST. For example:
1) What did you do last weekend? or What did you do yesterday?
2) Did you go away on holidays last year? Where did you go? Did you have a good time? What did you do while you were on holidays?
3)
There are also some questions about the FUTURE. For example:
1) What will you do after this class?
2) What are you going to do next weekend?
This month you have to select some of these questions and prepare a logical answer. Once you have written your answers on a piece of paper, check that everything is correct in terms of gramar and vocabulary.
When you are happy with the final product, record your voice asking and answering these questions. Record yourself as many times as you wish until you are happy with the recording, ok?
Finally, write an answer in this blog explaining:
a) Was it difficult to do this task? Why (not)?
b) Did you have any technological problems to record your voice? If so, what did you do to solve them?
c) Do you think you could answer these questions in the future in a natural way?
Once you have written an answer in this blog, send an email to your teacher and attach the audio files you have created with your voice recorded answering the questions. She will listen to you and give you a score for this task.
Aspects your teacher will consider for correcting:
- Your pronunciation
- The vocabulary you have used
- The grammar expressions you have used (present, past and future)
- Your fluency
- The use of connectors and linkers to join sentences. Example: and, but, because, so, etc.
Good luck and hope you hear from you very soon!!!
