All - Oral Exam

Here are some tips to prepare for your oral exam. Thanks, Cris, for letting me post them.

Remember the following important aspects:

• Include all the points you're given, even if you organize them in the order you wish.
• Try to build your monologue around some kind of structure (temporal development, advantages and disadvantages, comparison and/or contrast, etc.)
• Link the different sections of your monologue with connectors.
• In the dialogue, remember that you should be able to make suggestions, agree and disagree with people, and to reach some kind of conclusion, even if you cannot reach agreement.
• Forget about the presence of the examiners, we will be just virtual shapes and ears in the room.
• Try the best of your pronunciation, please.
