Speaking test
Interview
Do you live in a house or in a flat?
Can you tell me how does your house look like?
Do you have something on the walls?
What do you see from your house?
(I have asked the examiner if she could rephrase the question, because I could not understand if they wanted me to talk about my house on the inside or outside, although I think the examiner couldn’t say or actually didn’t know as well, because she just repeated the question.)
Which kind of food do you prefer?
When do you usually have that food?
The food that you prefer now is the same one you used to prefer as you were a child?
Card
Talk about the last book you’ve read (which one, when, which kind of book, why did i like it or dislike it)
Discussion
The follow-up questions were basically about reading habits and children and books:
In which ways could parents contribute more to improve their children reading habits?
What kind of books do you think children prefer nowadays?
Do you think that, in general, reading habits have changed during the last decades? how? (here it was concerning adults)
Do you think children should learn how to read only at school or is it okay if parents teach them at home? (along with the school teaching)
How do you think that reading habits change with age?
Once again, that you so much for all the feedback on the written essays, it was really important for me and also for clarifying some doubts that were coming up while I was studying. And it is true, we feel that we are not alone on this “journey”!
