You have learned a word when:
1. You know what it means
2. You know how to say it
3. You know how to spell it
4. You know when and when not to use it (put it in context)
5. You know the grammar of the word (e.g. which word must follow it?) – collocation, dependent prepositions etc
Speaking
4 parts – 14 minutes (2 minutes, 4 minutes, 4 minutes, 4 minutes).
Part 1 – Introductions and answering questions on personal information.
Speak about your family, home, job/studies, hobbies, holidays, future plans etc.
Part 2 – Photos – you speak for one minute each and make a comment (about 30 seconds) after your partner has spoken.
Compare two photographs. Give your opinion and say how the photographs make you feel. Listen and answer the question that the examiner asks you about the photos.
Part 3 – You speak together with your partner. This is a discussion and decision-making task.
Give (and justify) your opinion, make suggestions, agree (or disagree) with your partner, speculate and evaluate and try to reach a decision through negotiating.
Part 4 – A discussion expanding the topic in Part 3. The examiner will ask you and your partner questions.
