PET speaking part 2

Hi year 6 students, it's me again.

Part two lasts from two to three minutes. In part two you need to discuss alternatives and come to a decision. Discuss each option together, but not for too long and come to a decision. If you have time at the end, you can go back and talk about the options in more detail. The examiner will repeat the situation to you twice before asking you to start speaking.

Use conditionals:

I think he/she/they could
In my opinion he/she /they should

other useful language:



Practice with these situations. If you haven't got anyone to practice with, imagine you are two people and have a conversation with yourself! Time yourself - you can have between two and three minutes. If you haven't come to a decision before the end of two minutes you need to start coming to one. Before you start, check you know all the vocabulary, and if you don't, look it up in a dictionary and learn it.  don't forget to use some conditionals.
