        Exam advice
         t   Listen very carefully to the instructions you are given by
           the examiner, so that you answer the specific questions   3
           you are asked rather than talking vaguely or generally
           about the photos.
         t   You are asked two questions, which are printed on the
           page with the photos. Make sure you answer them
           both.
         t   Compare the photos in the context of the questions –
           don’t make irrelevant comparisons. Spend about half
           your time comparing the photos and the other half
           answering the questions.
         t   You shouldn’t try to describe the photos in detail.
         t   If you have time before starting to speak, spend a few
           seconds planning what you want to say.
