Speaking Hack 8: Remember that Sections 2 and 3 are always connected. The Long Turn, or Section 1
2, is always related to the Dialogue, or what's known as Section 3 of the Speaking Test. 2
This means that the prompt you've been assigned - the topic - will be used to culminate the exam. 3
A prompt is simply another word meaning the topic you see in that rectangular box. 4
Section 3 is made up of two questions sets. 5
The examiner will move through the sets from the easier set to the more difficult one. 6
Once again, the questions are scripted. 7
But for Part 3, the examiner is required to think of additional questions related to the topic. 8
In order to give this section a more conversational flow, 9
these extra questions are added, but they usually refer back to some information you stated in Section 10
2. 11
In other words, the examiner will take a mental note of some facts or examples you mentioned in the 12
Long Turn, and then build on them for Part 3. 13
Examiners are required to add extra questions for this section. 14
It's the only part of the exam that isn't 100% entirely scripted. 15
So to review: in Part 3, the examiner actually must provide extra questions related to the ones 16
already provided, adding to the conversational dynamic of this section. 17
Remember, this final section is five minutes in length.
