A continuación, puedes ver algunos ejemplos de cada una de las partes.

Parte 1: Entrevista (Interview)

En esta parte, el examinador te hará preguntas generales sobre ti, tus intereses y tus planes futuros.

Ejemplo:

Examinador: What do you do? Do you work or are you a student?
Candidato: I am a student. I’m currently studying business administration at the university.

Examinador: What do you like to do in your free time?
Candidato: In my free time, I enjoy reading books, especially science fiction. I also like to go for walks in the park with my dog.

Examinador: Can you tell me about your hometown?
Candidato: Sure. I come from a small town called Springfield. It’s a quiet place with a lot of green spaces and friendly people. There are some nice cafes and a beautiful river where people like to go kayaking.

Parte 2: Long Turn

En esta parte, te darán dos fotos y tendrás que hablar sobre ellas durante 1 minuto, comparándolas y respondiendo a una pregunta específica.

Ejemplo:

Examinador: Here are your photographs. They show people doing different types of work. I’d like you to compare the photographs and say what you think might be difficult about doing these jobs.

Fotos:

Candidato:
In the first photo, we can see a person working in an office. They are sitting at a desk, looking at a computer screen. In the second photo, there is a person working on a construction site, wearing a hard hat. Working in an office might be difficult because it can be quite monotonous and involve long hours sitting, which isn’t very healthy. On the other hand, working on a construction site is physically demanding and can be dangerous, as there are risks of injury. Both jobs require different skills and have their own challenges.

Parte 3: Collaborative Task

En esta parte, tendrás que interactuar con otro candidato para conversar sobre una situación hipotética y llegar a una conclusión. Tendrás 2 minutos para discutir y 1 minuto para tomar una decisión.

Ejemplo:

Examinador: Now, I’d like you to talk about something together for about two minutes. Here are some ideas about how people can stay healthy and a question for you to discuss. First, you have some time to look at the task.

Pregunta: How can people stay healthy? (Doing exercise, eating a balanced diet, getting enough sleep, avoiding stress, having regular medical check-ups)

Candidato A: So, I think doing exercise is very important to stay healthy. It keeps your body fit and helps to reduce stress. What do you think?

Candidato B: Yes, I agree. But I also believe that eating a balanced diet is crucial. If you eat well, you provide your body with the necessary nutrients. Do you think getting enough sleep is equally important?

Candidato A: Absolutely. Sleep is essential for the body to recover and function properly. Avoiding stress is also key, as stress can lead to many health problems. How about regular medical check-ups?

Candidato B: I think regular check-ups are important too because they help in early detection of any health issues. So, in conclusion, a combination of all these factors is probably the best way to stay healthy.

Parte 4: Discussion

En esta parte, el examinador te hará preguntas relacionadas con el tema tratado en la Parte 3. Tendrás que expresar tu opinión y justificarla.

Ejemplo:

Examinador: Do you think it’s more important for people to eat healthily or to exercise regularly?

Candidato: That’s a difficult question because both are very important. However, if I had to choose, I would say that eating healthily is more crucial. What we eat has a direct impact on our overall health. A balanced diet provides the body with the necessary nutrients to function properly. Of course, exercise is also essential, but without a good diet, exercise alone cannot keep you healthy.

Examinador: Some people say that modern life makes it more difficult to be healthy. Do you agree?

Candidato: Yes, I agree to some extent. Modern life can be very stressful and fast-paced, which often leads to poor eating habits and a lack of exercise. People tend to rely on fast food because it’s convenient, and they may not have time to exercise regularly. However, I also believe that with proper planning and commitment, it’s possible to maintain a healthy lifestyle even with a busy schedule.
