English Oral IGCSE

[moon]

Can somebody help us to know the questions that were asked in the English Orals as a second language? Please help :!: :!:

Help has arrived!

Actually, I've taken two oral tests for practice and I've seen many other different tests.
First of all, your teacher will give you a card about the topic and will give you a certain time for you to think of what you're going to say.
The teacher will ask you questions from the points in the paper, but can also ask you other questions that aren't on the paper.
Also bear in mind that the teacher will give you marks on your structure and grammar, fluency (meaning that you don't stop talking to think of what to say and you try to be talkative and give many details) and ideas (you can improve that by giving many ideas).
I'm sure that you'll receive a totally different topic form all the other ones, but all the topics talk about real-life stuff, like crime, money, responsibility, living outside your hometown, pollution, life in the future, etc.

I just came back from the English E2L Oral Communication , and just like MG said , the topics were

• Advertising

• Ambitions

• Contact Sports

• Globalisation

• Money Matters

However the examiner picked Ambitions' topic card and gave it to me , therefore I might be able to recall Ambitions' ideas over here , but they will not be as accurate as the topic card is.

Speak about your own ambitions.
Speak about someone you know who had ambitions and was able to achieve them.
Speak about Ambitious individual's problems in the society and the society's problem with ambitious people.
Speak about the society's response towards none ambitious people.

There is a point that I totally forgot , anyway I would love to thank both MG for the Topics ¬¬ and I would love to thank Kimo ( Toshkar ya z3eem ) for his useful tips concerning the oral examination.
