Paper 5: Speaking. Talking about photos.

In Part 2 you are expected to talk on your own about two photographs for about a minute. 


The interview will begin with the examiner saying something like:

In this part of the test I'm going to give each of you two photographs. I'd like you to talk about your photographs on your own for about 1 minute and also to answer a short question about your partner's photographs.  
(Candidate A), here are your photographs. They show......................
I'd like you to compare and contrast these photographs and say.................

Notice there are TWO instructions here,

a) 'Compare and contrast' the two photographs, 

b) 'say..........................' . 

In Part 2 candidates need to show they can compare but also give an opinion.

c) Speculate

d) React.
