Speaking Part PET for Schools

Dear students,

The video you can find herewith will be very helpful for you to prepare for the oral exam. I would like you to focus on the four different parts and how to tackle this task.

Watch the following video and decide who is better, Victoria or Chiara.
- Do you think that Chiara lets Victoria speak? Is Chiara leading the conversation? Do you think that Chiara is expressing herselg correctly? What about Victoria?

Remember that turn-taking is very important. You should listen to your classmate and try not to overlap each other.
