En este post aprenderás todo acerca del examen oral del Cambridge English: Advanced (CAE), es decir, el Speaking del C1 de Cambridge English. El speaking o examen oral es una de las cuatro partes típicas en los exámenes de Cambridge English. En este artículo te explicaré las 4 partes en las que se divide el examen oral (Speaking Paper) del Advanced (CAE). Además, te lo voy a explicar todo con un vídeo de un examen real y material de ejemplo para cada una de las 4 partes.
Ahora, antes de continuar, deberías ver el siguiente vídeo de un examen de Speaking real. Después podrás leer la descripción de cada parte, con ejemplos de materiales reales utilizados en el Advanced (CAE) de Cambridge English.
Puedes leer los comentarios de los examinadores de este examen aquí.
Durante esta parte, el examinador te hace diferentes preguntas acerca de tus experiencias personales y profesionales (intereses, carrera, trabajo, etc.). Además, también tendrás que expresar tu opinión acerca de varios temas. Esta tarea es individual, por lo que únicamente has de interactuar con el examinador. Sin embargo, debes prestar atención a lo que el interlocutor le pregunta a tu compañero/a, ya que puede que te pregunte a ti lo mismo. Aquí te dejo un ejemplo de preguntas que te podrían haícer durante esta primera parte del Speaking:
En la segunda parte del Speaking, te dan 3 imágenes y se te pide que hables y compares 2 de las imágenes en 1 minuto. Esta tarea es individual. Junto a las 3 imágenes, te dan 2 preguntas escritas en la parte superior. Durante la comparación, debes responder las preguntas con respecto a las imágenes. Cuando hayas acabado, después de 1 minuto, el examinador le hace una pregunta a tu compañero que tiene que ver con tus imágenes. Esta pregunta, se responde en unos 20 – 30 segundos. Después, se vuelve a hacer todo el proceso pero al revés: tu compañero compara y tú respondes a una pregunta.
Aquí te dejo un ejemplo de las instrucciones del interlocutor y de unas imágenes que te pueden poner para que compares.
Aunque estas imágenes aparecen en blanco y negro, en el examen serán a color.
Durante esta parte, se te evalúa la capacidad para comparar, describir, expresar opiniones, especular, etc.
Durante esta tercera parte, debes interactuar con tu compañero/a. El examinador os describe una situación a los dos, y os da una tarea/pregunta y una serie de ideas para ayudaros. Tienes que hablar de las diferentes ideas con tu compañero/a y, si es posible, llegar a un acuerdo. El objetivo de esta parte es evaluar cómo intercambias ideas, expresas tu opinión; cómo expresas tu acuerdo o desacuerdo con alguien; cómo sugieres, especulas, evalúas; y cómo intentas llegar a un acuerdo a través de negociación.
Esta tarea se divide en 2 partes: primero, tienes 2 minutos para hablar de las diferentes opciones con respecto a la pregunta. Luego, el examinador os interrumpe y os pide que lleguéis a una conclusión o acuerdo con respecto a una de las opciones. Para ello, os da 1 minuto.
Aquí tienes un ejemplo de lo que diría el examinador, y otro ejemplo de la pregunta y las ideas que tienes que debatir con tu compañero.
En esta parte tienes que llevar a cabo otra conversación, la cual deriva de la temática de la parte 3. Se te hacen diferentes preguntas que tendrás que responder solo/a o debatirlas con tu compañero/a. Es muy importante que prestes atención a lo que responde tu compañero/a, por si se te pide que interactúes con él/ella en esa parte. A continuación tienes un ejemplo de lo que podrían preguntarte en la parte 4 del Speaking de C1 (Advanced):
Lo más importante para realizar esta tarea correctamente es saber justificar opiniones al igual que estar de acuerdo y en desacuerdo con tu compañero/a o con algunas ideas que te dará el examinador.
Aunque cada parte es diferente, existen muchas cosas que deberías tener en cuenta durante este examen de Speaking. Veamos:

In this post you will learn everything there is to know about the CAE Speaking paper, also called Cambridge English: Advanced (CAE-C1), I promise. The Speaking paper is one of the four parts in regular Cambridge English exams. In this article, I will outline the four different parts of the Speaking Paper for Cambridge English: Advanced (C1-CAE) and you will find a video and sample materials for each of these four parts.
You now have a video of a full real Speaking test, and a description of each of the parts, with examples of the types of questions and the material used in the exam. I hope you find it useful.
Read the examiner’s comments here.
During this part, the examiner asks you different questions about your personal and professional background (interests careers, jobs, etc.) You will also have to express your opinion about various topics. This is an individual task, so you only interact with the examiner. However, you must pay attention to the questions that the interlocutor asks your partner, as he/she may ask you the same. Here’s a set of typical topic-based questions you might be asked:
In part 2, you are given 3 pictures and are asked to talk about and compare two pictures in 1 minute. You have to do this individually. You are given three pictures and two questions written above them. You have to answer the questions in relation to the pictures. When you have done this, after 1 minute, the examiner asks your partner a question about the topic of your pictures, which he/she should answer in 20-30 seconds. Then, the same process happens vice versa.
Here’s an example of the interlocutor’s instructions and the pictures you may be asked to talk about:
Although these pictures are black & white, in the exam they are coloured.
In this part you are assessed on how well you can compare, describe, express opinions, speculate, etc.
During this third part, you must interact with your partner. The examiner describes a situation to you both, and gives you a task/question and a set of written cues/ideas to help you. You have to discuss the different ideas with your partner and, if possible, reach an agreement. The aim of this part is to assess how well you can exchange ideas, express and justify opinions, agree and/or disagree, suggest, speculate, evaluate, and work towards reaching a decision through negotiation.
You have 2 minutes to discuss the different cues. After this, the examiner will interrupt you and ask you to reach an agreement. You are given 1 minute to conclude.
Here’s an example of what the examiner would say, and the written cues:
In this part, you have to carry out a discussion which stems from the topic featured in part 3. You are asked different questions that you have to talk about with your partner or on your own. It is really important that you pay attention to your partner, in case you need to interact with him/her during this part. The task that comes after part 3 is the following:
Expressing and justifying opinions, agreeing and/or disagreeing are the key points relevant to this task.
Although each part is different, there are several things that you should bear in mind during the whole test. Let’s see:

Hello Middle School Students

We kindly ask if everyone can please check their email now for a survey link.

One Day Update:
Please check the updated OneDay lists with minor changes from yesterday.
Today after attendance and announcements, you should again go to your OneDay location to meet your OneDay teachers. If you haven't already, you should share your plan with your teachers for OneDay. In sharing so many spaces, it is important that you plan well, so everyone can be successful. It is important too, that your OneDay plan spans the whole day, so make sure you have taken into account all the things you need to do.
Please remember you must remember your OWN materials for OneDay. Please bring them to school with you for OneDay. At this point, you cannot change spaces or topics, so please don't ask. You can always revise or change your goal a bit (even throughout OneDay), but you cannot change your plan entirely.
If you are still not on a list or have found an error on the list, please come see Mrs. Lemley on the couches near the Apple Kiosk on the third floor during homeroom time, otherwise report to your OneDay location (or where your OneDay teachers told you meet).
We can't wait to see all the great things you are going to do on OneDay!
MATHLETES who are travelling to Hong Kong next month, don’t forget our meeting at lunch today! We will be sharing more information about our trip and we will run another team competition!
Team 2 won last week! Let’s see if Team 1 can regain their title!
In today’s blog post we’re welcoming a guest contributor, Gemma Moore. Gemma works for the NHS in Portsmouth and is a specialist in hearing impairment. Gemma and I have written this post together.
There are various reasons why more than one therapist may end up working with a child. We’re not going to go into those today. However, when it happens, it’s really important that the therapists work together, in a complementary way. Generally, therapists want to work together! However, this can sometimes be challenging. There are several reasons for this:-
However, the benefit of another therapist’s opinion can also be a fantastic thing. Two heads can really sometimes be better than one and I have often learnt new things and grown in my skills and knowledge from working with another therapist.
Gemma and I have been working together with a few children for a year or so now. The first thing to say is that we are good friends. We trained together, shared a house for a while after we left university and now we are godparents to each others’ children! Obviously this has really helped us with working together, as we have a level of trust in each other that is hard to replicate with a therapist you have never met. Nevertheless, we hope that some of our experiences of working together can be helpful to others.
We’re going to talk briefly about 3 different children (all names have been changed!)
Ben
We have both worked quite closely with Ben who has quite significant speech and language needs. We agreed with his parents to see him on alternate weeks, so that he was able to have weekly therapy. Initially we set joint targets and then we would send brief emails after each session or two (often just a line or two) about anything the other should know about. We spoke on the phone every few months to review the targets.
More recently, I have continued to work directly with Ben at home and Gemma has taken the lead in working with the nursery to help transfer what he has learnt out of home and into other settings. Again, we speak every few months to update the targets and share ideas. We share assessment results and we both attend multi-disciplinary meetings. I think this is particularly useful, especially for a child with more complex needs, as having everyone together in the same room really helps to get a rounded view of a child in all settings and collaborate on how best to help.
Ruby
Ruby is a child that I see weekly. Gemma sees her once a term. Because I am the therapist who sees her most frequently I tend to take the lead in setting targets and deciding when they need to change. Gemma calls me before she goes into school and I update her on what I have been doing and why. Although I do liaise regularly with the school staff, they are not often able to sit in on my sessions, so Gemma always does her termly session with the TA and demonstrates strategies and activities for them to follow up on.
Daniel
Again, Daniel is a child I see weekly. Gemma sees him once a month. Daniel has difficulties with both speech sounds and his understanding and use of language. Although I do target all areas, I tend to focus primarily on his speech sounds during my sessions. Gemma tends to focus more on functional communication, such as setting up visual support strategies for nursery. Again, we speak every few months and make sure that we agree the targets but we each take the lead in implementing different ones.
Finally here are our top tips on working together with other therapists (especially between NHS and independent therapy):_
What are your experiences of working together with other therapists? What tips do you have that we can all learn from?

The LOB (Long Bob) has been popular for a few years now but for good reason. It’s pretty and easy to manage. It also looks good on a lot of people with different hair types and color. It’s can be styled curly or worn more straight too. If you’ve thought a different look consider LOB but know it’s not for everyone.
Good for: Normal hair, Fine hair, Thick hair, Wavy hair
Not so Good for: Tight Curly or Frizzy Hair
Styling your LOB: Use a 1 1/4” inch Curling Iron to create loose texture beach waves. Finish with Rene Furterer Texture Spray and to add volume you can use Shu Uemura Ample Angora Both of these products can be found in the salon or on our Online store http://ift.tt/2iOUhPW.
When looking for a cut for yourself here’s a few tips to help pick the right look for you.
1. If you not considering changing your hair color, look for a picture of the cut you like on a person with the same hair color and texture. Haircuts look different on Blondes than they do on Brunettes for example.
2. Consider your lifestyle and how much time you have to style it every morning. Precision cuts like a short Bob take more time to style. One of reasons why the LOB has been so popular for so long.
3. Our Stylist’ have professional tools and products to style your new hairstyle. It’s nearly impossible to recreate your new style at home without the products they used. Consider purchasing at least the most important styling products.
2. Face shape is an important factor. The right haircut can compliment and enhance your natural features.
The best place to start is coming in for a consultation. We listen and take the time to go over every aspect of choosing the right style for you. Book Online or call/text 206-568-3300

ELO Mentoring
1. This Friday:
a. Please use ELO mentoring to select your group’s leaders, if you have not done so already. Every group MUST have two leaders to ensure equitable workload.
b. For those groups who have already confirmed their leaders, you may use the remainder of the flex time to meet your group’s current needs.
c. Please ensure you have handed your ELO Forms back to your ELO Mentor by THIS Friday. That includes students who have just switched ELOs, so they need to be especially organised!
d. If you’ve switched ELO, you would have received an email from Mr Mizzone or myself, take note of the below info:
i. Please collect your new ELO’s set of forms from the HS Office ASAP!
ii. Your PowerSchool will be updated before Friday and it will have your new ELO Mentor and room number
e. For some groups there is not much to do until their Jump Facilitator visits after we return from Chinese New Year and as a result you Mentor may choose to use the remaining time as a study hall.
2. There is no ELO mentoring next week due to the Chinese New Year holiday.
3. Friday, February 10th, you will be researching locational information – more info to come after CNY.
4. Friday, February 17th, will be dedicated to Digital Citizenship and not ELO.
5. Friday, February 26th, Jump facilitators will come and visit groups to support your student leaders deliver information about your ELO and what work lies ahead.
If you have any questions please see Mr Mizzone or Mr Fidler.
