Cambridge Speaking - Task 1

ScottsEnglish

The first part of the Cambridge Speaking Exam is a series of "getting to know you" questions.

The most important piece of advice is to stay calm. These questions give the examiner a chance to hear you speak and you get the chance to show that you can speak English.

Sample questions:


What is your name?

Where are you from?

What do you like about living in your country?

Do you have a job? What do you do?

What would make a job interesting for you?

In your country, is it easy or difficult is it for young people to get a job?

Would you like to do the same job forever?

Where do you usually go on holiday(s) / vacation?

What’s the last foreign country you visit it? Did you like it?

Do many tourists visit your city?

What’s your favorite means of transportation? Why?

REMEMBER: these questions are not tricks, but simply to allow you to speak about subjects you already know.
