Speaking
Page 98
Exercise
1
Part 1 is a three-way
conversation between the candidates and the interlocutor using general
interactional and social language. It largely involves conveying personal
information.
Part 2 each candidate speaks
for about a minute about a set of photographs. When they have finished
speaking, the other candidate responds to a question briefly.
In Part 3
the two candidates speak to each other. They try to solve a problem of some
kind using the visual prompts the interlocutor gives them.
In Part 4
the interlocutor asks the candidates questions related to the theme of Part 3.
In Part 2
the interlocutor usually asks each candidate to compare and contrast the
photographs and to comment on them from a particular perspective. Sometimes the
second candidate is asked which photographs the first candidate talked about.
Sometimes the second candidate is asked to comment on the photographs from another
perspective.
Exercise
3
Sentence 2 would be the most appropriate of the
three, because it describes what the man is doing and then relates that to the
second photograph.
Sentence 1 only focuses on the man’s physical
appearance, and Sentence 3 only provides a description of the landscape.

Paa 3: The complicating action
The linking words/ phrases used are:
As it
happens… After it had finished … Nevertheless, … Finally … After a few minutes
though … At first … and then…
The entry is clever and amusing. It would have a
good chance of winning the competition. It is written in a relatively informal
style, which is entirely appropriate.
