important

seconds for one main point) To ask questions, and to respond (p.6) The three major points will be properly
covered.
Sample question
Which one of the following animals do you think would make a good pet for a grandfather? Discuss with your group which animal would be the best.
You may want to talk about:- Which animal is most suitable for an
older person- What type of home is suitable for
these pets- The cost of looking after these pets- Anything else you think is important
Sequence of points
Is the sequence important? Should candidates disagree with
each other? Where should personal opinion
come in? When should candidates wrap up? Wake-up call: That’s all for our
discussion. Thank you.
Paralinguistic needs Behave well in the exam centre Posture Eye contact Fillers (you know, I guess, ok) Facial expressions: raising eye
brows, nodding, smiling, etc. Listen to others’ points for future
reference
Discussion Speak up: the examiners may be 7 feet
away from you Give one to two ideas each time (do not
speak for too long) Allow other candidates to provide input Use simple English (using the same
terms shown in passage is not necessary)
Be courteous
Making references / Inviting others
1. Just now you mentioned about asking help from other visitors. Could you elaborate a bit there?
2. You had a good point there. Would you care to explain some more?
3. Your hiking experience may be of use to our plan. Could you repeat one point there?
Discussion Help group members who are having
difficulty explaining their points. There is no need to vote. There is no need to come to a
conclusion. Do not spend too much time on
procedures. Always remember: other candidates do
not share your school environment.
Wrap up
Wrap up when you have only one minute to go; summarize what has been discussed.
“I think that’s all we have time for. Did I miss anything?”
“Thank you for a useful discussion.”
Part B: Individual response One-minute response No writing, no preparation (but you can refer
to your note card) p.7 Different questions (all candidates seated)
p.3, p.11 The question is read to you; listen well (p.7). If you don’t understand the question, ask for
clarification. It demonstrates your ability to communicate (do NOT remain silent, p.7)
Scoring (0 – 6)
Pronunciation and delivery Communication strategies Vocabulary and language patterns Ideas and organization (p.7)
Leaving the centre
Look at the examiner who gives candidates instructions.
Nod to everyone in the room. Leave your chair and room as
quietly as possible.
Enjoy the rest of the summer!
THANK YOU
