FCE speaking exam, part three. Do you know what to expect in this part of the exam or

what the examiners are looking for? In this lesson, you can see what will happen in part

three of the speaking test and how to improve your score.

Part One: what to expect in part three of the FCE speaking exam. So what happens in

part three of your FCE speaking test? Part three of the exam is divided into two parts.

In the first part, you and your partner will be given five written prompts and asked a

question. You'll have about two minutes to discuss the question.

Look at a sample question. In this example, the question is, "Why might people choose

to wear these different clothes?" All of these questions have a similar format. The question

is in the centre with five prompts around the sides. After you finish talking to your

partner, the examiner will ask you and your partner a question about the subject you've

just discussed. For example, "Which of these clothes would people feel more comfortable

wearing?" Or, "Which clothes would be best to wear for a job interview?" You'll have

about one minute to discuss this question with your partner. So what do you need to

do to improve your score in part three of the FCE speaking test?

Part Two: interactive communication and improving your score. Like the other parts of the FCE

speaking exam, you are given scores for grammar, vocabulary, discourse management--whether

you can speak fluently and coherently--and pronunciation. In part three, you also get

a score for interactive communication. This means that your score depends partly on how

you communicate with your partner. This means it's important to work with your partner and

speak together. In our videos in part one and part two of the FCE speaking exam, we've

discussed how to improve your grammar, vocabulary, and discourse management scores. Now, let's

focus on your interactive communication score and what you can do to improve it.

So what are the examiners looking for? The examiners want to know: can you begin a conversation?

Are you able to listen and respond to your partner in an appropriate way? Can you keep

the conversation going? Can you ask your partner questions? Can you take turns with your partner,

speaking when it's your turn but also giving your partner the chance to speak?

Here are some good ways to improve your interactive communication score. Take short turns. It's

a good idea to take short turns when speaking with your partner. This way, the conversation

moves quickly, and you can discuss more of the written prompts. First, don't speak for

too long. Express an idea, and then ask your partner a question. When your partner speaks,

comment on what they say and ask new questions. This way, you will sound natural and engaged.

This will improve your score on the exam.

Use body language. Body language is an important part of expressing yourself. Turn towards

your partner, and make eye contact. Remember, you're talking to your partner, not to the

examiners. This will also make the conversation more natural and help you to relax. Make sure

you look interested in what your partner is saying. Even if they're the most boring person

you've ever met, you need to pay attention to what they're saying so that you can respond

Express your opinions. It's good to agree and disagree with your partner. This will

help you to express your opinions and have a more natural conversation. Make sure you

disagree politely so that you don't offend your partner. For example, "I disagree that

a dress and high heels would be a good choice for going out with friends. I think that jeans

and a jumper could be a lot more comfortable, and you could make them look stylish, too."

While this answer expresses disagreement, it's also polite and helps to move the conversation

Ask questions. It's always a good idea to ask your partner questions. They could be

simple or complex. A good time to ask a question is after you disagree with your partner. Look

at the previous example again, "I think that jeans and a jumper could be a lot more comfortable,

and you could make them look stylish, too. What about shorts and a T-shirt? When do you

think people might wear them?" Asking your partner a question after you disagree with

them moves the conversation forward and stops any possible arguments. It will also give

you a higher score in your interactive communication mark.

Part Three: useful phrases and expressions. Next, let's look at some useful phrases and

expressions that you can use in this part of the FCE speaking test. Firstly, it's a

good idea to ask your partner if they would like to start the conversation. You are showing

the examiner that you can begin the conversation, and at the same time, giving yourself more

time to think about the task. You could say, "Would you like to begin?" Or if you're more

confident and want to dive straight in, "Shall I start?"

Now that you've begun, let's look at some phrases you can use to agree with your partner.

You could simply say, "I agree with you," or, "That's a good idea." However, these phrases

are quite basic and can be repetitive. Try using some more interesting phrases, such

as, "I see your point," or, "You make some great points." Or if you really agree with

them, "I couldn't agree with you more." "You're absolutely right."

So what do you do if you disagree? If you disagree, it's a good idea to use a polite

phrase and keep the conversation moving. This will make you sound more fluid and avoid getting

into arguments. You could tell your partner, "I'm not sure I agree," or, "I get your point,

but..." or, "That's one way of looking at it. On the other hand..." You can see that

all these phrases allow you to continue and explain your point, helping you to keep the

Part Four: how to deal with difficult partners. Okay. But what if your partner isn't letting

you speak? What if your partner isn't taking part in the conversation at all? What can

you do? Don't worry. This is unlikely to happen, but knowing what to do in this situation will

help you feel more confident in your speaking test.

Firstly, imagine that you're in the exam and your partner won't stop talking about the

same point. What do you do? You interrupt them. Be polite about it, and say something

like, "That's an interesting point, but what about this idea?" or, "Okay, let's discuss

this point next," or, "Shall we move on to this point now?" These phrases will show that

you need to continue with the task and will also give you a higher score because you are

interacting with them and moving the conversation forward.

Now, imagine that you're in the exam with the same partner, only this time they don't

want to talk. They are very shy and quiet and don't speak much to you. What would you

do in this situation? In this situation, it's a good idea to ask your partner questions.

Of course, you should ask your partner questions anyway. But if they really don't speak much,

ask them more. You could simply ask, "What do you think?" "Which do you prefer?" "Do

you think it's a good idea to...?" Or you could ask more specific questions. For example,

"What's your opinion on these clothes?" or, "What are your views on this question?" Now

that you've seen some useful phrases, we'll look at some sample questions and answers.

Part Five: sample questions and answers. Now, let's start putting all of that information

together and looking at how to make great answers. Have a look at this question. The

question is, "Why are these inventions important in everyday life?" Your partner begins and

says, "In my opinion, computers and mobile phones are the most important inventions because

we use them for everything in our day-to-day lives." Now, look at this sample answer, "I

think that all of these inventions are very important in modern society, and we use most

of them every day. However, I don't think it's as important to have separate mobile

phones and computers as nowadays we have smart phones which are like small computers."

This answer is grammatically good and uses a variety of vocabulary. However, there's

a big problem here. Can you see the problem? The problem is that there isn't any interaction

with the partner. Your partner has just made an interesting statement, which you haven't
