During the FCE speaking paper the examiner gives you and your partner a task to do together. The examiner only listens at this stage. When you have finished the task, the examiner asks some questions on the same general topic.
In this section you hear two students doing a task together. You then look at some general questions that the examiner may ask and practise answering them. You also practise correcting people using sentence stress.

You are going to hear two students doing Part 3 of the Speaking paper, where they are given a task and have to speak together. Listen to an examiner explaining the task. Then decide if the following statements are true or false.
After clicking 'check' look at the 'comment' for each statement.

Now listen to the students doing the task and decide in which order they talk about why people do sports. Put the first reason at the top and the last at the bottom.

Listen to the students again and group the reasons why people do sport as follows:

• Which reasons did they both think were main reasons?
• Which reasons did they both think were not main reasons.
• Which reasons did they disagree about?

This is an example of contrastive stress, where part of a sentence is stressed to correct a misunderstanding. Another example could be:

Speaker A: Did your mother go to the gym this morning?

Speaker B: No, my sister went to the gym this morning.

Listen to the following questions and match them with an appropriate response.

In the next part of the FCE speaking paper, the examiner asks Adriana and Berta further questions about sports. Look at some of the questions and match them with extracts from the candidates' answers.
