FCE SPEAKING PART 3

 Here are the picture cards for the third part of the FCE Oral Exam:

Approximately 2 minutes.

The examiner asks you and your partner to talk together. You may be asked to solve a problem or try to come to a decision about something. For example you might be asked to decide the best way to use some rooms in a language school. The examiner gives you a picture to help you but doesn't join in the conversation.

Now I'd like you to talk about something together for about 2 minutes. I'd like you to imagine that a town wants more tourists to visit. Here are some ideas they are thinking about and a question for you to discuss.

First, you have some time to look at the task.

Now talk to each other about why these ideas would attract more tourists to the town.
