DO
-Look carefully at the photos. Think how to describe what you can see. Take your
time to do it. Organise your description (dont describe the same thing more than
once).
-Be as precise as you can when you describe the photo itself. Use some position
language if it helps. Start with a general idea of the subject of the picture before
going into details
-Use present continuous verbs to describe what is happening.
-If there is a person or people in the photo, you will need to describe their
appearance.
-Answer questions as fully as possible. Keep talking, give details, explain your point,
ask questions, paraphrase, dont get stuck on words. Any device that demonstrates
that you can carry a topic through will help your performance.
-Try to direct the conversation towards something you are interested in and can talk
about easily.
-Speak naturally and be animated! Keep eye contact with the examiner, be friendly
and show a positive attitude.
DONT
-Dont worry if you dont understand immediately what is going on in the picture.
-Dont worry if you dont know the precise words for what you can see; use
alternatives.
-Dont use the present simple to describe what is happening.
-Dont use general language to describe people. You should use vocabulary of the
level required.
-Dont give too many one - or two word answers. Avoid answers which are single
words or lists. Silence is you enemy! If you are not a talkative person by nature, you
must make an extra effort for the test.
-Dont feel you have to stick rigidly to the subject. Dont give complicated
explanations if you are not sure.
-Dont be shy! This is your chance to show how well you can speak. Smile and relax.
