INDIVIDUAL ORAL (INSTRUCTIONS, EXAMPLES)

There we are already preparing for your individual orals. Have a look to the following notes about what you are going to do and how to prepare your first mock.

Individual oral is based on two of the options: Customs and traditions and health. It lasts 25 minutes including preparation time and counts 20 % of the whole mark.

PREPARATION (15 min.)

You choose one from two photos and prepare for your oral exam. You must cover the following aspects:
1. INTRODUCTION: Includes name, candidate number and a summary of what you are going to talk about.

2. DESCRIPTION of the picture giving the most important details, especially those relevant to the topic.

3. The CAPTION: you should relate the topic to the caption.

4. ENGLISH SPEAKING COUNTRIES: what's the relation with the culture we are studying?

5. PERSONAL EXPERIENCE: how is your personal experience related to the topic?

You can write notes (10 short points)

PRESENTATION (3-4 min.)

  • Oral presentation including all aspects above.
  • You can use the working notes you have prepared before but use them as a reference, never read out!


DISCUSSION (5-6 min.)

  • A discussion with the teacher based on your presentation. It's based on the topic but you can be asked about how it is related to other options studied (cultural diversity, leisure, science and technology).


The whole performance is RECORDED and TIMED.
