Organizing Vocabulary
–
Tips and techniques
It’s easier to remember! It’s better to learn words in groups than learning
a long list of words that are not connected.
Your coursebook, if you are following a course, is probably organised by
themes.
You have learned a word when:
1. You know what it means
2. You know how to say it
3. You know how to spell it
4. You know when and when not to use it (put it in context)
5. You know the grammar of the word (e.g. which word must follow it?) –
collocation, dependent prepositions etc

Speaking
4 parts – 14 minutes (2 minutes, 4 minutes, 4 minutes, 4 minutes).
Part 1 – Introductions and answering questions on personal information.
Speak about your family, home, job/studies, hobbies, holidays, future plans
etc.
Part 2 – Photos – you speak for one minute each and make a comment (about 30
seconds) after your partner has spoken.
Compare two photographs. Give your opinion and say how the photographs make
you feel. Listen and answer the question that the examiner asks you about
the photos.
Part 3 – You speak together with your partner. This is a discussion and
decision-making task.
Give (and justify) your opinion, make suggestions, agree (or disagree) with
your partner, speculate and evaluate and try to reach a decision through
negotiating.
Part 4 – A discussion expanding the topic in Part 3. The examiner will ask
you and your partner questions.
