Candidates should not speak during their partner’s long turn.
This part tests the candidates’ range of language and their
ability to invite the opinions and ideas of their partner; they
are expected to share the interaction in this way and to initiate
and respond appropriately.
Candidates can choose which prompts to discuss and are not
expected to discuss all five prompts in the time available but
should continue their discussion until asked to stop by the
interlocutor.
This part tests the candidates’ ability to speak uninterrupted,
showing their ability to organise their thoughts and ideas, and
express themselves coherently with appropriate language
