FORMAT
Продолжительность: 8-10 мин на обоих кандидатов или 13-15 мин если тестирование проходят сразу три кандидата. Содержит 2 задания, каждое из которых условно делится на две фазы. Первое задание длится 3-4 минуты, второе - до 6 минут. Экзаменатор поочередно задает сначала общие, затем более детальные вопросы. Во второй части экзаменуемые работают с картинкой и затем также как и в первой части поочередно отвечают на вопросы экзаменатора связанные с темой второго задания.
Критерии оценивания остались прежними, ответы оцениваются по 5-ти параметрам:
PART 1
KET Speaking part 1 можно условно разделить на две части, первая из которых подразумевает краткий ответ на вопрос, в то время как во второй части нужно дать развернутый ответ. В новой версии экзамена больше взаимодействия между партнерами, больше тем и больше свободы для ответа.
«What’s your name?»
«My name is Maria»
«What’s your surname?»
«It's Ivanova»
«How do you spell your surname?»
«That's I-V-A-N-O-V-A»
«How old are you?»
«I'm 10, but I'm going to be 11 soon.»
«What's your date of birth?»
«I was born on the twenty-fifth of April»
«Where do you live?»
«I live in Moscow.»
«Where are you from?»
«I'm from Russia.»
«What’s your nationality?»
«I'm Russian.»
«Now, let's talk about hobbies. What hobbies do you enjoy doing in your spare time?»
«Well, I like skiing in the mountains with my family and skating with friends.»
«Where do you do your favourite activities?»
«Park is my favourite place because I can skate there with my friends.»
«How often do you do your favourite hobby?»
«I skate every day in summer, but in winter I can't skate because it snows.»
«What hobbies do other people in your family enjoy?»
«Mom loves cooking and reading, dad goes fishing sometimes. We all love skiing in the mountains as I said.»
«Tell me something about a hobby that you enjoy doing.»
«I like playing basketball too. I usually play basketball twice a week, sometimes we play basketball at school. Our school team even won a championship last year, but I didn't take part in that game because I was on holidays in France.»
PART 2
Во второй части устного экзамена KET Speaking part 2, как и во второй части PET проверяются Ваши коммуникативные навыки, поэтому, на мой взгляд, она сложнее KET Speaking part 1 и предыдущей версии KET Speaking part 2: Вы работаете в паре и должны использовать правильную лексику, но в отличие от PET Speaking part 2 Вам с собеседником не нужно делать заключение или приходить к единому мнению, а только высказывать мнение на предложенную тему.
