Speaking assessment You can prepare your answers for part of the speaking assessment at home I will not mark your answers before the exam so make sure you double check things in your vocabulary book and your exercise book. Check individual words either in a dictionary or at www.wordreference.com The second part of the assessment will involve you answering questions that you have not prepared (scary, I know, but you’ll be fine!)

The idea is to describe a past holiday using picture prompts like these of your own. The 4 x questions on the next page are designed to help you plan what to say. Ideally you will deliver it all as a presentation without being asked individual questions.
