Part 1

Do you work or are you a student?

At the moment  I’m studying. I’m doing a graduate degree in molecular biology in the Vanderbilt University.

Why did you choose that subject?

I’ve always loved life sciences, particularly biology… And when I received my bachelor’s degree  I took a research internship in a laboratory where I studied interactions between proteins… And then I understood that I want topursue my career in  biochemistry or molecular biology.

Can you describe yourself as a good student?

Well, overall I think I am a good student. … I am not an eager beaver  , nor the  teacher’s pet … but I’m good at scientific subjects and, most importantly, I like studying.

Do you study English now?

Yes, of course. I’ve taken an intensive course . this year, where I’ve attend classes  three times a week… And I plan on pursuing . my studies in the future, too…

Did you enjoy/Do you enjoy studying at school?

I’ve never really liked school… I’m not a bookworm  and a lot of humanities subjects seemed too boring to me. However, the workload  was not too big… The other good thing about school is being able to see your friends. And fortunately, I had wonderful classmates.

Part 2

Now, have a look at the card and prepare a monologue.

Describe a period of time from your studies that was the most difficult for you so far. You should say:

  • When it was
  • Why was it hard
  • What you were doing at that time

and say why is it so important to you

I would like to talk about my last school year. It was really diffucult due to enormous amounts  of homework I had to do and all the exams I had to prepare for… Em, so I studied hard, having no time to goof around  … Moreover, I forgot a lot of things from the school curriculum, that’s why I had to do a lot of revision…But despite the tough preparation, I managed to set aside some time  to rest and interact with my friends and family… After all, my efforts were not in vain … I passed all the exams well and was admitted to the university of my dream.

Part 3

What are some essential qualities every teacher should have?

As for me, every teacher should be able to catch student’s attention  . It is very important to make your subject interesting to the others… Also, teacher should be a subject specialist  and a kind, helpful person..

What are some pros of studying on a distance learning course?

To be honest, I think it’s very advantageous to study in such way… It gives you more time flexibility, especially if you have a job… Not to mention that it is fairly cheap  , compared to face-to-face classes  …

Does everybody get equal opportunities to study?

Definitely not. I think it really depends on a country you live in… Moreover, it depends on your financial capabilities … Some schools and universities are just too expensive… Only a small fraction  of people can afford to study there.

I’m going to talk about the time I left a university assignment until the last minute and had to work flat out to get it finished. This was about ten years ago when I was doing my Master’s degree.

I had to do several 3000-word assignments for the modules on my Master’s course, but I remember that there was one in particular that I really struggled with. I had been procrastinating and putting it off for weeks, and in the end I left myself just two days to get the whole assignment done. This included finding and reading relevant books and articles, deciding on my thesis and assignment title, and producing a final draft which had to be handed in to the department office before the deadline.

The pressure of such a close deadline actually forced me to manage the task in a really efficient way. My first step was to decide on the general area that I wanted to write about, and then I limited myself to just ten research sources. I printed the most relevant pages, highlighted the key paragraphs and made some notes to summarise and synthesise the ideas that I found interesting. Finally, I just started writing the main body of the assignment, and I wrote the title and the introduction last.

I had mixed feelings at the time. I was annoyed with myself for leaving it so late to get started on the assignment, but I was relieved and quite impressed with myself when I managed to complete the final draft so quickly. It was also quite stressful and tiring to have to find articles, do photocopying and then write everything so quickly. I wouldn’t want to go through that again!

Do you think that this candidate performed well?

Think about how you can improve your own Speaking test.

Transcript

Examiner: Alright? Remember you have one to two minutes for this, so don’t worry if I stop you. I’ll tell you when the time is up.

Candidate: OK

Examiner: Can you start speaking now, please?

Candidate: Yes. One of the most important things I have is my piano because I like playing the piano. I got it from my parents to my twelve birthday, so I have it for about nine years, and the reason why it is so important for me is that I can go into another world when I’m playing piano. I can forget what’s around me and what … I can forget my problems and this is sometimes quite good for a few minutes. Or I can play to relax or just, yes to … to relax and to think of something completely different.

Examiner: Thank you. Would it be easy to replace this, this piano?

Candidate: Yes, I think it wouldn’t be that big problem but I like my piano as it is because I have it from my parents, it’s some kind unique for me.
