Now I'm going to give you a topic and I'd like you to talk about it for one to two minutes. Before
you talk, you'll have one minute to think about what you're going to say, you can make some notes
if you wish. Do you understand? Here is some paper and a pencil for making notes and here is
your topic. I'd like you to describe someone who you think can or could communicate well with
others.

Describe someone who you think can or could communicate well with others.
You should say:

who this person is/was
how you know about this person
what this person does/did
and explain why you think this person is/was a good communicator.

All right? Remember you have one to two minutes for this, so don't worry if I stop you. I will tell
you when the time is up. Can you start speaking now, please?

• Do your friends think this person isjwas a good communicator?
• Do you think it's easy to be a good communicator?

PART 3
4-5 minutes

Examiner
We've been talking about good communication, and I'd like to ask you some more general
questions about this.

Let's consider different forms of communication.
• What forms of communication (e.g. letters, faxes) do people use these days?
• What forms of communication were popular in the past?
• How are text messages different from letters?

Let's move on to talk about communicating with people.
• Should parents or schools teach children how to communicate?
• How important are speaking and writing skills in communication?
• Do children communicate in a different way from adults?
Thank you. That is the end of the Speaking Test.
