CAMBRIDGE B1 PRELIMINARY

                    SPEAKING EXAM

                               PART 2

What should I do?

                    How should I do it?

THERE IS A PICTURE TO DESCRIBE in about 60 seconds

CAN I DO IT IN SUCH LITTLE TIME?

AT LEAST I CAN TRY...

                SAMPLE ANSWER

This photo shows what looks like a family of five members: the grandparents, dad and two children, a boy and a girl. It seems they are in the kitchen trying to cook something. Mother is not present, because she might be at work so I guess they are trying to make a surprise for her. I see the boy breaking eggs and the girl whipping something in a bowl so they may be baking a cake or a pie. Perhaps a birthday cake because it may be mum's birthday. They are all wearing comfortable clothes because they're at home and need to feel relaxed. The kids look focused on their activity and father is helping the boy with the eggs. Grandpa is laughing as he really likes spending time with his grandchildren. The girl is careful at what her brother is doing because she doesn't want to make a mistake. In the background I see some light brown cupboards.

            DO YOU THINK YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT?

                                    JUST GIVE IT A TRY.
