FCE Speaking Part 3: Ottavia and Hannah

Now watch Ottavia and Hannah do part 3.

Remember in part 3 they are testing your ability to interact and react to your partner's opinions. 




 Now read the examiner's notes.
Interactive Communication
While one student appears to dominate, when the other student comments her remarks are made in complex language, explaining her ideas fully and contributing to the conversation confidently.

Discourse Management
The students successfully answer both parts of the question, discussing easily, using language to negotiate, agree and disagree, particularly the quieter of the two students who uses a lot of expressions to communicate with her more dominant partner: ´that´s also true´, ´maybe ´, ´but don´t you think…´. 

Grammar and Vocabulary
Both students easily use language of speculation and modal verb structures: ´it could show you how the history evolved and how it get to this point´, ´I think that going to a football match is not so useful because you only look at people throwing a ball´.
While there is some repetition, ´useful´ for example because of its use in the question, there are also surprising quantities of quite elaborate language: ´inhabitants´, ´evolved´ and ´culture´ for example.
