Did I st-st-st-stutter?

Watch this FCE speaking and write a comment. 

How did they do?
Did you spot any mistakes?

Remember that they are being graded on their grammar and vocabulary, discourse management, pronunciation and interaction.

  1. I reckon that both spoke more or less well. Maybe the boy speaks more fluently and more natural than de girl. Isn´t it?

    The girl sttuter a litle bit and repeat "and" many times.

  2. Example of a good exam. It's very likely that both passed the exam. Despite being a good exam, in my opinion, Rino did the exam better than Gabriella. As Olaf said, she was a bit repetitive, she did some mistakes and her body language was quite worse, however she had a good english pronunciation and asked questions in order to invite her partner to speak.

  3. do you think the boy had his answer pre-prepared for part 1? How about the boys answer for part 2, what unforgiveable error did he commit? Look at the examiner's face! A good point Olaf, she was repeating 'and' when she could have used much better linkers. I'm pleased you noticed about the body language Javi. I thought their language was quite basic, but very controlled and with few errors

  4. In my opinion both speak good, I think that Rino was repeating a lot of times waterfall in the second part and he does´t compare the pictures he just talks about both of them. She repeats a lot the word 'and', she seems a little bit nervous but I think she passed the exam! Good night class!

  5. In my opinión, in general they did more ore less ok. As you said, the answers were a litle bit short, they didnt take advantage of the time they had. Also, they did some mistakes like: " make a picture" instead of " take a picture" i think. In the part of comparing the pictures, they dindt do it. Also, for my ther girlt seems to be more nervous tan the boy.
