PART 3
(COLLABORATIVE TASK)
 (FCE) B2 First: Speaking Part 3 – Format

FCE speaking part 3 is a conversation with the other candidate. The examiner will
ask you speaking questions (you will receive some material and a task to do). You
have to talk with the other candidate and make a decision.

Fce speaking part 3 is called the ‘collaborative task’ because the two candidates have
to work together and have a discussion about a number of options, represented by
photos or images, that the interlocutor presents to them.

The interlocutor will tell you what you need to do, but there will also be written
prompts, in the form of questions, above the photographs or images you will have to
discuss. You should talk together about each photo/image and then come to a
decision. You will not be penalised for failing to reach an agreement on a decision so
long as you have discussed all of the options well.
