SPEAKING


Now, some exercises to practice your PET exam in the other areas. THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART

SPEAKING

Now, in this part of the test you’re going to talk about something together for about two minutes. I’m going to describe a situation to you.

A young man works very hard, and has only one free day a week. He wants to find an activity to help him relax. Here are some activities that could help him relax.

Talk together about the different activities he could do, and say which would be most relaxing.

All right? Now, talk together.


Now I’d like each of you to talk on your own about something. I’m going to give each of you a photograph and I’d like you to talk about it.

A, here is your photograph. It shows a family at the beach. Talk about it.

ORGANIZATION

Read the page and everyday you can do 3-4 exercises. Take notes on your notebook of the scores, vocabulary or tips that you may think will help you. 

If there is an exercise that you haven't got it right do it again and then move on. 

You don't need to memorize all the parts of the exam. Just know that there are 4 different parts: listening, speaking, reading and writing. 

One of the days watch the video and pretend to be one of the students. Stop the video and answer as if you were there. What would you say?
