In this post, we'll learn essential answering strategies for Part 1 of the Linguaskill General Speaking test. Before you start this post, make sure you've read · · Understanding what is being tested in Speaking and · · Practise speaking using these academic markers.
In Part 1 of the Linguaskill General Speaking test, you'll be asked 8 questions about yourself.
Among the 8 questions, the first 2 are always the same whereas the remaining 6 are randomly selected.
The first 2 questions go something like this:
The first 2 questions are not marked by Cambridge. They do not contribute any points to your final test score.
Even though the questions are not marked, you should still answer the questions seriously, as if they were marked questions. There are many reasons for doing this:
For questions 3-8, you should prepare to answer all types of questions about yourself. This should be easy because you already know the answers!
To help you prepare, go through this list and think about how you would answer them:
Never, ever, **** *** **** *******. *** **** ***** **** ****** ***** ** *** **. **** ********* **** *******, ***** **** ******* **** *** ** ******* **** ** ****. ** *******, ****** ***** ******* **-** ***** *** ***** ** ******* ** ******. purchase
Remember this!
The Linguaskill Speaking test does not evaluate factual correctness. It only evaluates the accuracy of your vocabulary and level of your grammatical skills related to the question being asked.
More is definitely better.
