[iLuvPizza95]

I'm giving the test in 2 hours. Gaaah :S... But I think i will be fine ^_^

[MsTeenageWildlife]

[40971282]

this saturday I have the testt im very nervoooous

[D80sRocks]

failed xD

[Luizhenpr]

Lol, i guess they failed

[dannicito159]

I hope that this had helped me for tomorrow, I've never taken the FCE exam before so I'm nervous, but it looks easier than i thought.

[freakedout99]

fuck!! this videos suck!!! My exam is in 4 months and i can't find a decent FCE practice video T_______T I'm so nervous!!

[GorgiaStoeva]

They have such a Spanish accent lol

[jukulupu]

...very very bad pronounciation :/

[AccessibleEnglish]

@jukulupu Their pronunciation is easy to understand. There were a few verb choice problems but for B2 level their pronunciation is OK. Many English phonetic symbols don't exist in other languages. The main thing is that they were both completely understandable.

[KikeRostocker1]

@AccessibleEnglish I don't know, I'm a Spanish native speaker and B2 user and my pronunciation is way better than theirs.

[paradisee1122]

Well, what i think to talk about is. these quesitons.

What is the picture.? what it is about? what are the hidden meaning of the picture.? what is the intention of the picture? and Why do people take photos? What does it make us fell about the photos. for each pic i think we have to talk about the question that i stated above.

[donseye007]

for speaking practise add me on skype...my id is (theawan007)

[lymp94]

@donseye007 are you a teacher ? because Iam taking the FCE on december. so I need to practised a lot.

[timskoldgothgirl]

Watching Maria annoys me like hell!!!!...

like seriously...but!!!!...I'm taking the exam tomorrow...soo...gotta watch it... ¬¬



[MsNokella]

I am having the speaking part tomorrow too :) feeling quite confident and excited :))) Good luck to you all :)

[7KiuuiK7]

I have this exam tomorrow. I hope this video can help me to pass the speaking test.

[Plevell]

@7KiuuiK7 dunno if it can help you but at least u know what to expect :D i got it tomorrow too ;)

[vakho53]

[tmasterson37]

I'm having my speaking part of the exam tomorrow. Thanks to your videos I know what to expect during the examination :) Thank you very much,

[VansVansVans17]

I'm doing it tomorrow,the speaking part i mean, and this has helped a lot, thanks for uploading it :D

[robbiewilliamz]

im doing a speaking exam tomorrow i hope im going to pass it successfully :)

[kufel99]

@robbiewilliamz Me too, I'm a little bit scared because i didn't learned any time. Anyway, good luck bro! ;)

[robbiewilliamz]

@kufel99 you too :)

[RMDanila]

I had my exam this morning. In part four the examinator asked me if it right or not to hide sentiments and why when you're happy you can learn better.

I thought it was a philosophy test. She was a stipid and bitchy blonde woman..

How I'm hating her now... I think It's not right...Other were asked about school and job....

[DaniGnr93]

I have to do the speaking exam tomorrow! I am quite anxious

[Vipus2501]

I think talking about multiple pictures at once is good way of saving some time. Also, aswering the second question first may give you more time to accomplish the first task, which is always more time-consuming. Just my opinion, though.

[javotemalo]

I've got the oral exam next thursday. I'm nervous but I hope I'll do a good exam and my partner too.

[tajakjejtam]

@SophiaIFK write to the author of this vid on the priv, he should know :D

[tajakjejtam]

I think I'm going to pass this exam. They did :-)

[00serena00x]

Oh my Godness today I'm going to take the exam!:S -Nervouse mode on-

[kintopl]

Today is my turn im nervous too ;p

[StandByMe4Ever]

Next week,it's up to me!

Fingers crossed for the oral part ;)

[Naticitax7]

They got A and C just in this test or this marks are about the whole exam?

[darksilince]

oh boy... i have to do this shit for the univerity :D... is the exam completelly hard or not? ^.^... sry for my bad english, i'm from germany :D:D

[chibas1011]

tomorrow is going to be my speaking exam about FCE and I hope God me and give me confident becuase I have studied since march and it will be my future , here in Peru I will try to relax and give all I KNOW , thanks

[mariasilvinabress]

I would like to see an CAE speaking part of the test .I'm sitting for the test in three days but I'm sure I'm well prepared.I'm from Argentina :)

[mariasilvinabress]

Fernando may have got an A because he did an excellent job in all the other parts too ...

[ChrisGreece12]

Maria is much better in both videos.I cannot understand why Fernando got A and Maria got C...I take the exam tomorrow morning and in 2 days.Chris from Greece!!!GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE...

[ChrisGreece12]

In video 1,Maria is much better.In this video Fernado does his best.I am taking FCE Speaking in 2 days.Tomorrow i am writing and listening.Chris from Greece!!!Good luck to everyone...

[Maribravo94]

In the minute 4:49, is: I would hate it!, no?

"I used to hate it" Is wrong! I think!

[Skateranarcopunk]

Which one is the hardest part of the test?, I mean writing, speaking, listening or reading? and what do I have to study harder? Is because I'm going to present it on 10 days and depite I'd studied I would like to know where to put more emphasis at.

[lymp94]

Omg! In 2 days I am taking the speaking part...I am not nervous but....I am lookinf forward to it...n.n wish me luck

[Key0091]

Tomorrow is my turn, I hope to do it well. These videos were helpful, thanks.

[alejandrab93]

they didnt use vocabulary words in the exam. They were too nervous in the beginning

[richmck007]

Remember the grades are based on the whole exam, not just tthe oral. Perhaps Fernado did really well on the written and Listening parts. I think nerves got the better of him here. Maria was actually the better and more composed although both made some serious errors considering the level... It just goes to show, you never know

[lehiochoa]

was that a real exam? or just a practice one?

[mandrakelinux07]

@lehiochoa it was a mock exam..

[penismightier1]

It's actually difficult for me to accept these two guys are at a 'true' B2 level. They made lots of serious mistakes - and some of them hinder successful communication. What strikes most here, is the fact that Fernando got a grade A and Maria a C! At least she produced sounds aesthetically acceptable to the ears of a native...

[EllieEnglishAndProud]

"I use to take pictures but I don't use to rewatch them"........ What??? ahah Why do you take photos if you don't want to remember the past???

[mandrakelinux07]

@EllieEnglishAndProud she ment that she take photos, stores them in the computer and then never watch them anymore

[EllieEnglishAndProud]

@mandrakelinux07 and what's the use in doing that??? hahaha

[ALSupergirl]

Tomorrow is my turn... I hope to do it ok but when I practice I use to don't know what to say.

The best is that I'm not nervous!

THANKS FOR THOSE VIDEOS, THEY ARE REALLY HELPFULL!

[mandrakelinux07]

@ALSupergirl yeah they are. Here in BA we took them in December.. I hope I succed it... by the way, good luck!!

[EllieEnglishAndProud]

I think they should improve their pronunciation. And stop laughing.

[mandrakelinux07]

@EllieEnglishAndProud they laugh because they're too nervous

[ChiaBriTa]

Tomorrow is my turn!

[badblackdays]

I'm taking it tomorrowa at 9:47 =D Today I've done the others papers, and they're Nice!! =D

I hope tomorrow I'd get a band 4 !!! =D

[alfaomegaiota]

NERVOUS!!!! Tomorrow i'm going to have the exaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam

[LadyCokyOttantadue]

ahiii tomorrow I'll have the speaking and I'm scared!!! :(

[ticialch]

tomorrow is my turn... D= I hope I'll manage to say smart things...

[JumperFrank]

On the one hand I'm really looking forward to taking this exam!!! But on the other hand I'm nervous as hell xD Luckily we practised some parts of the exam (at school) and I know what's going to happen... but still... xD

Thanks for showing what such an oral exam looks like =)

[arm92scr]

In one hour I have to do ittttt!!!!!

[AleIacob]

Omg...I'm really scared. Tomorrow is my turn and I feel like I wouldn't know anything. I'm afraid of not to pay enough atention and lose control..but I hope I'll be just fine...

[lina25100]

by the way...good luck cafemm!

[lina25100]

omg...tomorrow i have the speaking part and am i very nervous....i can't control my emotions....i really need somebody to cheer me up and to be there for me....:(

[00serena00x]

@lina25100 Ow! How has been the exam?Because I have your same problem, I just can't control my emotions!I'm afraid!

[cafemm]

I will have it tomorrow. I´m really nervous.

[Miguelet100]

Maria is so funny!!! hehehe

[ner7x]

aa today is my turn too i am nerous but confident as well

[sujiro]

she didnt make sense many times, but i think it's because she was too nervous

I'm already nervous just by watching this video, my exam is in two days!

[Thesajlem]

wow really nice :)

i will have speaking part on friday

[Nicsienieda06]

They forgot the word "Embarassed". Shouldve been used many times.

[matthijsvideos]

Tomorrow is my turn..:O

[laurw]

Thanks for the videos! I have my speaking part next thursday, a little nervous here :)

[LaMansionDelIngles]

Yes, Fernando got a grade A and Maria a C

[tvojemama0123456789]

@LaMansionDelIngles If Fernando had grade A, I'm absolutely calm :)

[ferstargirl]

@LaMansionDelIngles  why?

[braunmarci]

@LaMansionDelIngles Maria shouldn't have been laughing all the time lol

[afinales]

@LaMansionDelIngles

[ticialch]

@LaMansionDelIngles grade C??? but she was very good! her english is fluent... 0.o

[Vikkio92]

@LaMansionDelIngles excuse me, but... what about just the speaking? I mean, maybe he got better on the other parts, and she didn't...

[EewickaA]

@LaMansionDelIngles can i ask.. did they get these grades from the speaking part or from the whole FCE? :))

[FMataderos]

@LaMansionDelIngles Do you have more videos about the speaking part of the FCE ? I would be very grateful!

[trabalhos12b]

@LaMansionDelIngles

but they had this mark in speaking exam or this are the final grades?

[durbanscrew]

@LaMansionDelIngles my god, Fernando doesn't know how to make indirect questions!

[rossellinasmile]

@LaMansionDelIngles

really? o.O Maria spoke more..and she was so sure..how could she get a C?

Fernando was not so good..i'm surprised that he passed the exam

[patrypanait]

@rossellinasmile : C is a better grade than A at FCE :)

[rossellinasmile]

@patrypanait

Really? would you mind telling me how it works all this stuff? I'v the FCE's exam next week.

[patrypanait]

@rossellinasmile I have FCE exam next week as well. that is all I know about grades. At speaking the lowest grade is A after that B and the best one is C .

[rycho199400]

@patrypanait Definitely not! Grades are given for the whole exam, not for each single part and the best grade is A, and worse are in this order: B, C, D, E. You fail the exam when you get D or E (less than 60% points),

[patrypanait]

@rycho199400 No ! the best grade is C . that's why FCE is for level B2 or B1 and the CAE is for C1 or C2 :)

[rycho199400]

@patrypanait You don't understand what the GRADE is. B2, C1 and so on are LEVELS of language fluency in the scale of Common European Framework. But GRADES are A, B, C, D, E. Read the guide for students taking the Cambridge exams to be properly informed and don't give such not checked information!

[patrypanait]

@rycho199400 Ooo sorry .shoot me ! Calm down I was just giving my opinion on this !

[rossellinasmile]

@patrypanait I see. Thank you..and good luck! :D

[eutsi93]

@LaMansionDelIngles really? I can believe it --"

[demonside94]

Were they finally awarded for a high pass?

[MultiAncafe]

I m so excited about KET exam

[aaLees]

Tomorrow i'm going to do my speaking exam and i'm so nervous!

[INIGUEZELI]

so that girl used to take pics but she never watch them again?? kind of weird isn't it

[theduchess17]

they lost lots of time talking to each other and didn't choose one picture

[LaMansionDelIngles]

Doesn't matter. The idea is to talk!

[theduchess17]

hmm, i think the idea is to complete all of your tasks

[undone52]

Correct, but if they don't pick 1 -> This is very bad :)

[tutionline1]

@LaMansionDelIngles I don't think so, because you can talk a lot, but if you are not understood it is as if you hadn't said anything!!!

[vakho53]

@LaMansionDelIngles I had that exam today. I think that I and my partner did it well but in the third part we spent too much time talking about pictures and didn't managed to answer the question because we expected there to be 6 pictures an there was one more and there was no clock in the room as well. Will that lower our mark? I think that we spoke much better than fernando :D :D

[777Rythm]

tommorow im going to do the speaking part!!! XD

[arttworock]

Ohh my god. today is my turn and I hope to do it well....those videos has been very helpful...thanks MANSION DEL INGLES... greetings from peru...

[LaMansionDelIngles]

Good luck!

[lymp94]

@arttworock where did you take the Fce..well actually the speaking test.. In britanico centre?

[arttworock]

@lymp94 yes I did actually, it's been a long time since I took it, thanks god I passed the exam and now I have my beautiful FCE =) ...how was yours?...are you from Peru?, well let me tell you, then a took the ELT course at britanico also...you can do it if you want....and if you live here jejejeje

[arttworock]

Responder a este vídeo...  =)

[arttworock]

@lymp94 

[PaiintDriP]

My partner used to "steal" all the time , speaking and speaking and then I had no more time to say anything . u_u

[INIGUEZELI]

@PaiintDriP did you beat your partner when the exam finished??? :D

[skifarterufa]

The guy have a strong spanish accent, maybe too strong...

[Key0091]

tomorrow it´s my turn. This was very helpful. I know I can do it.

[surerstar581995]

This was really helpfull!!

[naksix]

Today... my turn... I'm so nervous xD

[alegionti]

I'm going to take the speaking this sunday, I'm a bit anxious!!!

I have a question: in the third part if we haven't talked about each picture yet and if we have too few time, do we have to answer to the second question or go on discussing about the photographs? What is better?

[LaMansionDelIngles]

It doesn't matter. JUST KEEP SPEAKING!!! (and asking your parner questions, of course. Good luck!

[Szathmo92]

saturday is my turn!!!

[hernanchaparro]

today is my turn im a bit nervous : s

[marianbtorres]

This was really helpful! Thanks for posting this! Tomorrow is my turn and i'm totally ready and not nervous but very excited!! =)

[Xbox360Apostolosk]

tommorow its my turn!!!!!

[Galeon22]

im sitting in a few hours.. im a bit nervouss. but my problem is grammar -_- !

[nikos007333]

i just took the test and i gotta tell you its quite easy. i mean at first i was very nervous but when the examiner started asking me some basic questions such as " where are u from " and things like that , I started being a little be more confident and relaxed.

so in conclusion, those who haven't taken the test yet , they shouldn't be worried at all

:-)

[Xbox360Apostolosk]

yes . it s great that the first part is all about you . that makes you more confident and calm .

[namamer]

thank you very much for this video. i'm doing this exam next Monday. This clip is very useful for me, i think i will be a little less nervous after seeing it.

[MaatSalgado]

Yes, this video is very useful, I'm doing the FCE Speaking test today, so I'm watching to practice a little bit.

[whdalsrbgml]

It is really useful as we can see how they take exam, but their speaking is terrible. Especially the man, how could he say that I do not know more than twice, and they did not try anwser properly and so roughly, finally they did not complete task 3 and they did useless conversation. I do not want to watch more, terrible example.

[LaMansionDelIngles]

Everyone is entitiled to their opinion. Good luck with your exam :-)

[randytauren]

very useful and funny video. I was thinking about trying to get this exam next year and be able to get a nice job. Good luck to everyone!

[MrZerocool15]

Could you please say me,what grade did the took?

[LaMansionDelIngles]

Both students passed the exam.

[NNachtschatteNN]

their pronunciation and accent is weird because they are spanish (from SPAIN), they are not from south america, but i understood what they said and that's the main goal of the speaking test.

[orlandopunk]

if they passed with that kind of level of English then it means that getting that certificate is a piece of cake

Im an English learner too and it was very painful to watch these guys lol

[LaMansionDelIngles]

No final score because it was a practice run for the video, but Maria and Fernando both passed the real FCE exam I'm pleased to say :-)

[pinoabetye]

does anybody know what their final score is?

[LaMansionDelIngles]

No final score because it was a practice run for the video, but Maria and Fernando both passed the real FCE exam I'm pleased to say :-)

[Ganjafarmer20]

that's a MOTHAFUCKING VIDEO

[nickenino]

Did they pass? He's slightly better than her, but I don't think their answers are detailed enough... I'm Spanish myself and understand what they're saying but would a native speaker understand them easily?

[themaineventita]

you're right. i'm italian and sometimes i didn't understand some sounds they did.

[LaMansionDelIngles]

Yes, they both passed. Fernando got an A pass. That's VERY difficult to get.

[mnwht7kgp1]

seriously?? an A?? they probably deserved to pass, but with an A? cmon...

[LaMansionDelIngles]

Speaking is only 20% of the total exam. Don't forget Reading, Writing, Grammar and listening.

[Jolandinka]

Thank you for the video. It's very useful. The speakers were natural. The Spanish speak in this way. Not only accent is taken here into consideration. Grammar mistakes- well, they were communicative and they were able to communicate and understood all the questions. That's what matters. The exam should be natural- no problem with laughing because people laugh when they talk to each other!! And the opinions of the speakers are not assessed either.

[constantine94]

They can't have passed the test! Their accent is so bad that you can hardly understand what they say at times.Furthermore,they make lots of grammar mistakes and they get out of the point very easily.

[Giorghe]

Maybe because with our spanish accent is hard for many people to understand us like you but I'm sure there are by far harder, and examiners don't consider them. And yeah, I agree with you, they had mistakes doing the test.

[mentayflor]

I think that it is an useful video. I appreciate it that Craig has help us so much. Thank you from Argentina!

[Ryomajhn]

that guy is too negative ... he doesn't like anything adn hate everithing...his attitude towards the questions were a little rude in some parts...

[pedrohissa3]

They are laughing too much for doing this kind of exam.

[Xbox360Apostolosk]

true but what if you dont even smile?

[jcalamil]

I hesitate in the part 3 because I Started, and next my partner did bla bla bla better than me, at the beggining I didn't feel bad but just in this part I hesitated and when we talked in the part 4 "face to face" I felt better, but I hesitated at the beggining of the part 3

[MateuszSB99]

I have had the speaking exam today i don't think it was extremely hard, it was just a regular conversation. Non of You should be affraid of it. Good Luck!

[atilaship]

I took it today and i think i did terrible!!!!!! i feel bad, i was so nervous...

[MateuszSB99]

I have watched all parts' of that exam and basically there is only one question in my head....Did they pass the exam????!!!!!

[Aleks91Me]

I hope they didn't

[carswift]

part three........FAILED!!!!!

[nikracy]

ohh I will give the FCE speaking test and i have stress!!! But i think i will be good!!!

[eLyske]

maria is very funny :D

[LaMansionDelIngles]

The interviewer has a terrible accent too, don't you think?

[D80sRocks]

@LaMansionDelIngles LOL... british accent...

[marcoU1924]

they speak in that way because they´re spanish, perhaps mexicans.

[Leorockguitarist]

maria penso sia italiana

[Aleks91Me]

nooooooooooooo

[MCRayder]

I'm spanish and i don't speak that way... it's a shame..:S

[Mi6Ko0o]

they both have terrible accents, but speak english good thought
