EXAMPLE: I’m going to describe a situation to you. A friend of yours is planning to spend 6months in England to improve herEnglish.Talk together about the things she willneed in England, and decide which arethe most important things to take/bringwith her. Here’s a picture with someideas to help you.
Escola Sec / 3 Martinho Árias - SOURE 43
SPEAKING PART 2: DISCUSSION TASK
3 minutes
• Student Problems:- an ‘unnatural’ and challenging format given your relative lack of
life experience. You may have difficulty understanding what‘interaction’ is and how to manage it.
• You may ...- not work through the various options shown in the visual prompts,but decide on a solution immediately;
- not acknowledge the contribution of your partner;- grind to a halt when you realise you don’t know how to saysomething in English, or revert to your own language.
Escola Sec / 3 Martinho Árias - SOURE 44
3 minutes
• Useful Strategies:- make sure you know exactly what to do, how to proceed
through the task, and importantly, that you know what NOT todo;
- use paraphrasing rather than “it’s X” (in Portuguese) to explainthe meaning of a word.

- A poor example
I see a man, a girl standing. Are in thetrain….. I think. The girl ….wearing a white t-shirt, white shoes, white socks, blue shorts.Maybe China….. the writing here. Many peoplein train, .. no, is bus I think. The woman wearingwhite t- shirt, white skirt, glasses. The man herewearing black t-shirt, can’t see more. Is hot.
Escola Sec / 3 Martinho Árias - SOURE 48
SPEAKING PART 3
… Compare it to a more appropriate example:
This picture shows a bus full of people. Some of them are sitting down and
others are standing up because there are no more seats. It must be hot
because most of the people are wearing t-shirts. The people look Chinese or
Malaysian, they are definitely Asian. There is also a poster on the wall with
Chinese writing on, so, I think they must be Chinese. There is a girl in the
picture who looks like she is going to school because she has a school bag.
The boy standing next to her also looks like a student although he hasn’t got
a school bag; he’s just listening to music. He could be a university student
because he looks a bit older.Escola Sec / 3 Martinho Árias - SOURE 49
Compare the two answers and think about the:
• logical development of ideas;
• use of linking words to show the development of ideas;
• vocabulary;
• grammatical structures.

SPEAKING PART 3 – another example
Now, I’d like each of you to talk on your own about something. I’m
going to give each of you a photograph of teenagers in their
bedrooms at home.
Candidate A, here is your photograph. Please show it to Candidate B,
but I’d like you to talk about it. Candidate B, you just listen. I’ll give you
your photograph in a moment.
Candidate A, please tell us what can you see in your photograph.

Now, I’d like each of you to talk on your own about something. I’m going to give each of you aphotograph of teenagers in their bedrooms at home.Candidate A, here is your photograph. Please show it to Candidate B, but I’d like you to talkabout it. Candidate B, you just listen. I’ll give you your photograph in a moment.Candidate A, please tell us what can you see in your photograph.
• Student Problems:You may ...
- not develop your description in a coherent or logical fashion;- panic because you can see things you don’t know the words for in
English;- You don’t use appropriate structures or expressions to help you describe
the photograph.Escola Sec / 3 Martinho Árias - SOURE 52
• Useful Strategies:
- You should know some basic questions that you should answer in
complete sentences every time you describe a photo:
a)who can you see?
b)where are they?
c)what do the people look like?
d)what are they doing?
e)what time of year is it? how do you know?
f)how do you feel about doing this kind of thing? why?
SPEAKING PART 3
Escola Sec / 3 Martinho Árias - SOURE 53
• More useful strategies:
- develop your ability to paraphrase using these useful
sentence frames:
“I don’t know what this is in English, but it’s like a...”
“I can’t remember the word for this in English, but it’s kind
of ...”
“This is something you use for ... / to ...”
