Speaking Section - Directions
The speaking section measures your ability to speak in English about a variety of topics. There are six questions in this section.
Questions 1 and 2 are independent tasks in which you will speak about familiar topics. Your responses will be scored on your ability to speak clearly and coherently about the topics.
Questions 3 and 4 are integrated speaking tasks. You will read a passage, listen to a conversation or lecture, and then speak in response to a question about what you have read and heard. You will need to combine relevant information from the two sources to answer the question completely. Your responses will be scored on your ability to speak clearly and coherently and on your ability to accurately convey information about what you read and heard.
Questions 5 and 6 are integrated tasks. You will listen to part of a conversation or lecture, and then speak in response to a question about what you have heard. Your responses will be scored on your ability to speak clearly and coherently and on your ability to accurately convey information about what you heard.
You will listen to each conversation and lecture only one time. You may take notes while you listen. You may use your notes to help you answer the questions.
