 * This audio provides some useful advice for the oral exam:** http://tts.imtranslator.net/9uZ5

The exam lasts about 10 minutes. Please consider the following points:

Each of you may be asked basic questions about your home town, family, work or study, hobbies, leisure and future plans.
 * First of all:**

You will be asked to discuss these or explain what you think about it. Sometimes you will be asked to agree on a conclusion, and sometimes you will be told to give your opinions about something.
 * About the topics:**

You may be asked to discuss together with the examiner, some ideas that are connected with the task.
 * A possible discussion**

Some general advice about the exam:

Try to avoid complicated explanations or grammar if you are not sure about them. If the truthful answer is difficult to explain, you may want to say something easier in the exam. If you don't understand what you are meant to do, ask the examiner to explain. For example, you could say: //Could you repeat the question, please?// //I'm sorry, could you explain the meaning of the word .... ?// //Could you please ask the question in another way?// Avoid answers which are single words or lists When you are asked to compare or contrast the pros and cons about a topic and to give your personal feelings about them, make sure that you leave some time for explaining your own views. If you need time to think about something, try to keep speaking rather than remain silent.You could say things such as: [during the interview; say to the interviewer] //Please give me a moment while I think about the answer//
 * //Keep it simple//**
 * //Ask for explanations//**
 * //Useful sentences//**
 * //Finish the task//**
 * //Keep speaking//**

To avoid wasting time, make it clear when you have finished talking. For example, say something like: //That's all I can think of at the moment// Before the exam, practice recording yourself talking about you and your life. It is interesting that you know how you sound in English.
 * //Practice//**
