LATEST RESOURCES FROM SPLENDID SPEAKING
Asking and responding to questions is an important skill to showcase in the CAE Speaking Exam. Do you find it easy thinking of things to say or questions to ask?
This week's featured recording has Anca from Romania and Laurent from France speaking together for the first time through Skype. The focus was on asking and responding to questions. As you listen decide how well Anca and Laurent managed to hold a natural and interesting conversation. In particular, decide how well they ask questions and whether they show interest in what the other has said. You'll also find this week's 'Get Speaking' task sheet, giving you the chance to carry out a similar activity.
