ESL Speaking – Exam Review

by

The final exam for the English speaking class is coming soon. This is a good chance for you and me to check your English speaking skills. The next two lessons will provide you with a chance to review the key lesson material we studied in class and prepare for the exam.

English Conversation Exam

The English conversation skills test will have two parts.

  1. The first two questions will require you to make long answers, probably at least one minute each.
  2. The last 3 questions will require shorter answers (at least 30 seconds each).

You can find all of the exam questions here: speaking-class-exam-review.

About your final score. The grading for the final exam will be fair but tough.

Here is what a high score will need:

  • quick answers (no delays, no waiting, no hum, ah, etc)
  • proper pronunciation and vocabulary
  • good grammar
  • complete sentences
  • interesting ideas

Is this tough? Yes, a little. But remember. I am giving you all of the test questions so you have lots of time to practice.

Good luck.
