Speaking - part 2 - TV Programs

(5 - 6 minutes) 
In this part, you will talk with your partner. Here are some pictures that show different television programs. Do you like these different types of television programs?  Say why or why not. Now talk together.

Things to think about for your discussion: 

• What people, places, and things do you see in the pictures?  
• Do you like action films?
• Do you think that the news on TV is sad/interesting?
• Do you think watching football on TV is fun/exciting?
• What do you think about history programs?

Be descriptive to show the vocabulary you know.  Ask your partner questions so you speak together.

After 1-2 minutes, the examiner will then ask each candidate a question, such as:
Do you think ...

• watching action films on TV is exciting?
• watching the news on TV is sad?
• watching football matches on TV is interesting?
• watching singing on TV is fun?
• watching programs about history on TV is boring?

So Candidate A, which of these programs do you like best? And Candidate B, which do you like best? 
(Then you return the pictures)

Then he or she will ask you both some questions about the topic. (up to 2 min.)
Examples:

• Do you prefer watching television alone or with other people, Candidate B? Why? And what about you, Candidate A? 
• How much time do you spend watching television on different days of the week? Why?

That is the end of the test.
