B2 (FCE) Speaking: ¿Qué es la parte 1?

La parte 1 es una entrevista con el examinador. Te hará varias preguntas a las que deberás
responder con información sobre tus intereses, estudios, carrera, etc.

El examinador le entrevistará sobre detalles de su vida y sus experiencias. No tendrá que

hablar con el otro candidato, aunque puede hacerlo si lo desea.

Las preguntas versarán sobre su trabajo/estudios, su tiempo libre y sus planes de futuro. Se
le podrá preguntar, por ejemplo, sobre un deporte que le guste o impresiones sobre sus
viajes o vacaciones recientes….

Es importante dar respuestas adecuadas y elaboradas; no debe contestar «yes« o «no«.

Por ejemplo, si el examinador le pregunta dónde vive, en lugar de limitarse a decir „ I live in
London, England’s capital city” puede decir „I live in an area of London called Streatham,
with my family – my mum, dad and baby sister. We live in a fourth-floor flat. It’s nice and
cosy, but sometimes I wish it was a little less noisy outside – there’s so much traffic on the
road” . En otras palabras, diga todo lo que pueda.

En la Parte 1 del examen oral, el examinador te hará preguntas sobre tu vida familiar, tus
actividades diarias o cómo pasas tu tiempo libre.

¿Qué debo practicar?

Cuando practiques, intenta hablar de ti mismo tantas veces como sea posible, pero no te
aprendas las respuestas de memoria. De lo contrario, estarás más tenso en el examen y es
posible que bajes la nota.

Una de las mejores maneras de practicar la expresión oral es hacer una lluvia de ideas: que
se te ocurran tantas cosas como puedas decir sobre un tema (puedes tomar notas si es
necesario). Pero una vez que hayas pensado y organizado tus ideas, intenta hablar sin
ayuda de notas: no aprendas a hablar de memoria. Con la práctica, notarás que has
mejorado tu capacidad de pensar y parafrasear de forma independiente, así como tu fluidez
general.

¿Cuánto tiempo tendré que hablar?

Model questions with answers

How many people are there in your family? (Who are they?)

In my family, there are four members: my parents, my younger sister, and myself. We
all live together in a cozy house in the suburbs.

Which family member do you spend the most time with?

 ● I spend the most time with my younger sister. Since we are close in
age, we share similar interests and often engage in various activities
together, such as going to the movies or playing sports.

Could you tell me about your family home?

● Our family home is a two-story house with a lovely garden in the front
and a backyard. It has a warm and inviting atmosphere, decorated with
a mix of modern and traditional elements. The living room is a
common gathering place for the family, where we often spend quality
time together.

Do you like your neighborhood?

● Yes, I do. Our neighborhood is peaceful and friendly. There are several
parks and schools nearby, making it a great environment for families.
Additionally, there are various shops and cafes within walking distance,
which adds to the convenience and charm of the area.

Is there anything you would like to change about your neighborhood?

● While I generally like my neighborhood, one improvement I would

suggest is the development of more recreational facilities. Having
additional sports fields or community centers would provide residents,
especially the youth, with more options for leisure and social activities.

Feel free to modify these answers based on your personal experiences or

preferences.
