HOW TO SUCCESS IN THE SPEAKING EXAM


SPEAK AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!!!( IN ENGLISH, OF COURSE!!) AND DON'T USE CATALAN OR SPANISH WORDS!! WHEN YOU FINISH THE EXAM SAY: " That's it", for example.
Remember that there are 3 parts in the 2nd Term Exam:
1.ASK and ANSWER questions related to knowing each other:
Hello, how are you? What's your name? Where are you from? What do you do? What are your hobbies? Where do you live?....

2. DESCRIBING A PICTURE:
First give the situation of the person/ thing you are talking about in the picture: AT THE TOP/ AT THE BOTTOM/ IN THE MIDDLE/ ON THE LEFT/ ON THE RIGHT...
THEN use THERE IS/ THERE ARE, use a RELATIVE PRONOUN ( who/ which/ when / where) and the PRESENT CONTINUOUS to describe the action that the person in question is doing.
For example: In the middle of the picture, there's a man who' s playing football with his child.

3. GIVING AND ASKING FOR DIRECTIONS:
Excuse me, where's the.....?
Go along this street/ go straight this street
Turn on the left/ Turn on the right
At the end of the street there's.....
The...............is at the corner
The.................is in front of/ between/ next to.....
GOOD LUCK!!!
