[2002AIXA]

did they pass?

[yode3lo]

Mañana voy a estar rindiendo el Speaking del First Certificate, después les digo si me sirvió o no!

[dudu16othon]

@yode3lo como fué su test? usted puede decirme las photos que he estado en su speaking test?

[10hyorinmaru10]

I am taking the speaking today!

[dudu16othon]

@10hyorinmaru10 could you tell me how was it please? I'm going to take on friday

[yode3lo]

@dudu16othon Well it's easy, the teachers and candidates are good people, you have to answer some personal questions, then you have to describe, compare and answer a question about two pictures in 1 minute. Then you're asked to talk with your partener about a topic for 3 minutes and then you have to speak with your partener and answer 2 question about a picture where there are over 6 pictures which are related. Don't be nervous, it easy and time pass quickly.. good luck!

[BarneyBuchanan]

I am taking it this year!!

[boti12boti]

endoy it :P

[mfagundez24]

it's not a good example of part 1 and part 2 in FCE exam. They didn't finish their tasks and they had a limited use of language, but they can develop (with difficult) their ideas and interact each other without problem. Maybe they had 3 in speaking test.. it means they pass the test..

[7escape]

1:05

[Infecto0o]

Look guys,I'm from Bosnia,I'm 14(don't worry I'm young,but my English is probably good enough for this) and I just wanna ask,what are the advantages of having the FCE certificate??

[blltfrmvlntn123]

@Infecto0o

hello. I'm 14 from bulgaria and now I'll take my exam @ the end of 2012 and they told us that sometimes when you look for a job they just want a certificate that you speak english so this one is perfect :) and without fce you can't have cae cpe and ielts which are the most important ones. :) so yep thats pretty much all

[Infecto0o]

@blltfrmvlntn123 Well,I don't think I'm going to take CAE or CPE exams..but if I may need this for a job..then it's okay :)

[ophelia5555]

@hapinessisfree firstly it's ''their pronunciaton sucks!"

Secondly, it's happiness, not hapiness...Perhaps you should try being more attentive to your use of the english language before you comment on other's use of it. Just a friendly remark, no hard feelings! :)

[TheSunGlassesThing]

I'm taking it next June. Wish me luck! :)))

[Infecto0o]

@TheSunGlassesThing good luck :D

[cChiOo10]

@TheSunGlassesThing goog luck!

[ritasantos9]

they speak well :p

[exoticman1994]

what a terrible accent !



[YoshiMario69]

Well they're horrible, but I doubt they've actually LIVED anywhere English is primarily spoken, and thus their feel for the language is nonexistent. I myself am from Mexico, but having lived in the US for 8 years in the past helped me a hell of a lot more than a few years of English class ever could.

[principepelleas]

That guy has a horrible accent!!

[gonzales596]

lol

[zigzagzig40]

Don't worry you will soon be able to be a manager in England you don't need English to earn a good wage here. I had a Morrocan manager that couldn't even spell last year. When I have a University degree, he could hardly speak English and we worked for a flagship British Multinational, shocking. This is what puts the great in Great Britain eh???

[MariaAlejandraLatuf]

Remember they are students. They make mistakes. They have a very strong Spanish accent. and the girl repeats " normally" when she should say, " usually or generally"

It´s true. They are not perfect, but at least it can give you an idea of what the test is like.

[hungary23]

This guy talks like a faggot.

[lymp94]

I am taking on December ! Yeahhhhh :) I wanna go to LONDON♥

[kathie0008]

@lymp94 Oh really? Good Luck :) I feel I'm not ready for it yet so I'll take it on june next year. Everyone wants to go to London :')

[lymp94]

@kathie0008 yeah. but I decided to take it in June!

[AccessibleEnglish]

Hi. I'm preparing students online for their September 30 computer-based FCE exams. This is a great video for the speaking section. Keep it up!

[DEtonadosPKMN]

SPEAKING IS THE EASIEST PART. writing reading and use of english are way more difficult

[MeuNomeEhBob]

@DEtonadosPKMN TRUE THAT

[DEtonadosPKMN]

my results will be online tomorrow. CANT WAIT UNTIL IT!!! SO FUCKING ANXIOUS

[saske96]

Lol I almost failed mine ;(

[4everCrema]

OMG. I'm gonna take this exam today at 5:48 p.m. I thought it was harder. I'm just praying to not look like Fernando. WISH ME GOOD LUCK. PEACE & LOVE

[lesteban22]

@4everCrema so, how it was?? Im taking it in December!! =S

[4everCrema]

@lesteban22 Unbelievable, it was really easy, just do not get frustrated before the exam. Speak calm and loud that's all. I could say that I was well prepared, so, I had a great performance.

[lesteban22]

@4everCrema cool man! congrats!

[sauron319]

Fernando:i see two people riding a bicycles

[Zdendarotesl]

You can learn a lot about FCE speaking exam at my blog englishrot/dot/com

[saske96]

Oh man my speaking examination is tomorrow .... :X

[evropanzeu]

his speaking discourse is awful..

[BigJohnnyBig]

"it depends completely" ;D ahahaaha Fernando rocks!!

[Dgebsho1]

i have this exam tomorrow :(

[DarkQueenOfHell]

@Dgebsho1 i'm going to take the exam tomorrow too!! so scared......

[eutsi93]

@DarkQueenOfHell I´m taking on friday! jajaja good luck

[3Laaii]

Greeeeat! I gotta do that exam within two days and I'm shitting on my pants!!!!!

[kufel99]

I guess Fernando failed this speaking ;)

[ReyFenix666]

@kufel99 both of them passed the speaking exam :)

[hapinessisfree]

their pronunciation suck :)

[SadielennonlovesJOHN]

@hapinessisfree

And yor grammar sucks too, since 'their pronunciation' is third person singular.

[jtdc86]

@hapinessisfree u suck big black glocs..

[dimeeelinduraaa]

@hapinessisfree y que queres gato si no hablan en ingles ellos, hablan en español . JAJAJAJA pillo :S

[dimeeelinduraaa]

im taking this exam in one month D:

wish me luck !

any advice from the ones who did it ?

[WA5ON1]

@hapinessisfree Lo que pasa es que para los castellanos es muy difícil pronunciar bien, a diferencia de nosotros los latinos, ni siquiera les interesa hablar el más perfecto acento inglés

[Sekondes]

@hapinessisfree I know!!! I'm not a native speaker nor I ROCK english, but at least my pronunciation is way better :)

[winnerjohn1104]

will they give me the result immediately after the exam? I mean the speaking test. Thanks

[Fomis113]

@winnerjohn1104 you will know the results after all parts of exam. the results will be written on the paper which you will get. you won't know the results immidiately after the exam

;D i hope i provided information corectly ;p

[Auriel5]

@winnerjohn1104 No they won't, you'll get to know the results a few weeks later when its posted in a website and they give you a password.

[minibrother09]

I`n my opinion, the oral was good, and both of them are going to pass the exam. Also they use the prhases that we strudy for the oral

Cesar Jara Lopez

[briscomaca]

They didn’t use all the expressions that we study for the oral. They only used some key phrases of contrasting (in the other picture), giving opinion (I think – maybe) and for gaining time (hmmm... let me see – what I meant to say was...). And they didn’t use the key phrases describing (on the right side, in the middle of the picture).

[briscomaca]

In the second part Fernando was better than Maria, because he was relaxed; he spoke calmed thinking of what he was going to said. He describes the pictures and gave his opinion, but he didn’t comparing or contrasting the pictures. And Maria became more nervous than the first part, so at the beginning she made a mistake, but she passes it with the expression “Sorry, I start again, excuse me”. She describes, compare and contrast the pictures, and she gave her opinion.

[briscomaca]

I think that they are going to past the oral exam, because they answer all questions, and they used the time and the grammar correctly.

In part one Maria and Fernando forgot to say some expressions (the only one that they said was “hmmm”). Maria was nervous, in despite of that she was very fluency; she used a lot of vocabulary and she laughs a lot, more than usual. For Fernando it was difficult to found the word to express his self, so he took his time to answer the questions.

[juliav30]

i think that both of them use a correctly vo

cabulary and a good time. Maybe in some parts of the exam they sounds nervious but they started again and they do well.

In my opinion Martía was more better cause use a better pronunciation than the boy.

But I seem that they don’t use the expression that appear in the video.

SOY AGUITOS PROFE NO TENGO CUENTA!

[juliav30]

i think that both of them use a correctly vocabulary and a good time. Maybe in some parts of the exam they sounds nervious but they started again and they do well.

SOY AGUITOS PROFE NO TENGO CUENTA!

[romii13]

In my opinion both students are going to pass the exam because both of them now a lot of English. But the boy was so nervous, and it's happened, and the girl have some mistakes in one of the answers

Both of them use some expressions that i study for the test

Romina Colombo

[Languasquito17]

for me in this video they talk well, but i can listen that maria have a good level in speaking and fernando have to practice more, although maria was nervious in the part to describe the picture and that can take out points

Lucas Monzón Languasco

[sosaanalaura]

In my opinion both have to pass the exam.

About maria: she was very nervous and forgot fundamental expresions.

she Interrupt the explanation to start again, and that kind of things can't happen in an international exam.

So she have to be more profesional and try not to laugh in most part of the exam.

But on the other hand, she has a good fluence in speaking and answering the questions.

And Fernando takes his time to answer the questions and trying to express what he want to say.

[sebacivetta]

I think they passed the exam because they answer all the question and used the time correctly. In the part where they compare the photos, Maria was very nervious and she forgot to say same expression.to gaining time. But they used a good vocabulary.

Sebastian Civetta

[icarrillodelpino]

I think they where good, but the girl seems to be nervious, and they didnt use all the phrases we use for the practice and they use a english level that i think is not for an fce exam.

Ignacio Carrillo del Pino

[RagazzaCheAmaSognare]

I'll have my exam tomorrow.. I'm NERVOUSSSS!!! I hope i'll relax myself.. I think the candidates are good but I could do better.. I don't like how they have compared and contrasted the two photos. But if u say that they're good, well.. I think I've a chance..

[yiyota93]

Well they didn’t use all the expression that we study for the oral. They used some key phrases of comparing, contrasting and giving opinion for example I think, May be and sometimes contrast the pictures but they didn’t use the key phrases such as all the top, on the right side, in the middle of the picture, etc. Neither used key for gaining time hmmm… let me see, what I meant to say was.

[yiyota93]

@yiyota93 Gisel Ramos

[yiyota93]

In the part one both are nervous but Maria more than Fernando but nonetheless she speaks better fluent without be uniting. It is difficult to Fernando to find the suitable word because of it is united very much but he speaks well. In the second part Fernando was better than Maria because Fernando didn’t become nervous, he spoke slow and calmed. He was thinking the things before saying them on the other hand Maria became very nervous and she was not very nice in this part of the speaking.

[yiyota93]

In this video I believe that both students are good. I think that they going to pass the oral because both used an appropriate vocabulary could use correctly the times, were not united so much they were thinking the things before saying them, in other words, there was coherence in what they were saying. They used correct grammar in past, present or future and they have knowledge of all the parts but in the part 1 and 2 there exists a difference between both students.

[tajakjejtam]

Well, they weren't impressive, so maybe there is a chance for me ;)

[piccolaprincipessa93]

My God, I'll do this exam in an hour!

[thaaatyyy]

I'm gonna take this speaking part today at 10am! ;D hope ill do it well,and i hope i wont get too anxious either kkkk

[laifshadia]

I'll do my oral exam tomorrow D: damn! and I haven't practice u.u I'm afraid i'm not going to pass

[NoeePs]

In the Part 2, Both describe the pictures but they don't use the expressions that I used in my oral exam, like At the top of the picture, At the bottom of the picture, etc.; and both had a good answer for the questions of the examiner. Maria used WELL for gaining time, she contrasting the pictures and gave her opinion using expressions like MAYBE. And Fernando gave his opinion but he didn't comparing or contrasting the pictures with the expressions that I studied for the Oral.

Noemí Prat

[NoeePs]

From my point of view, both are good but the girl is better because her speech is fluent. I think that both are going to pass the exam because they used the vocabulary of FCE and they have knowledge of all the parts.

Noemí Prat

[nicodesto]

IIs better the girl

[pinakization]

hey they are not soo bad...i mean their english is pretty good ...but thair accent is teribble but yeahhh theyre good

[16MirkoV4ever]

90.

[Msanwnumh]

I will do the same thing in Saturday so guys..wish me good luck=)

[NeilaSnD]

@Msanwnumh good luck!! I'll do it next month, I'm so excited!! Hope u do well :)

[Msanwnumh]

@NeilaSnD hey=).thanks.hope you do well ,too!

[Gophercough]

Its good to have examples BUT there is no evaluation. What grades did they get for this speaking (part2)?

[Lara1Croft2is3all4]

I am brazilian (sim, eu sou mesmo) and I must that that, even though I can write and speak very well in english, I am not sure I am going to pass in the FCE test, that I am going to do in the end of the year. I am practicing with my english teacher with other FCE test (reading and writing, speaking and listening) and I must say they are really hard.

[kernel86]

@renzo1310 I doubt that :D

[crazyistanbullu]

So helpful. Thank u very much. I subscribed...

[litoguitarist]

i'll have the exam next saturday and sunday...I am really scared!!!!!!!!!

[9800726]

i dont know how they have passed other parts of exam but this one they failed indeed. but who knows how it ll turn out, cause my friend just talked talked (didnt follow any rules didnt answer the main questions) and guess what? he got Exceptional lol

[Shouriko]

I'm 17 and I'll do the speaking part tomorrow. (I'll do it this year so it will count for my University exams in future) I'm pretty confident with my pronunciation and vocabulary but I'm nervous. What about those "mark sheets"? Are they given out after the written "half" of the exam? Cause we'll be doing the speaking tomorrow but writing, reading, ... on next saturday (which is kinda stange but whatever) so I'm concerned about those sheets cause I don't know anything about them...

[locajajajabnonotanto]

hi!!!! I am going to do my PET exam and I need help with my speaking test. Can you help me? and another question: what is the right age to do the PET and FCE????

THANKS

[Vrykola]

lmao @ accent of the guy :D

[Babydoll212trx]

They are so bad, I would have past this part of exam with 5. I bet the use of english is the worst part of all. This way they compare the pics is just stupidity. Describe isn't compare.

[MrIlovejustin15]

I know they passed the FCE, but did they pass the speaking part itself?

[Sarah38985]

she is an idiot.

[HackMastery007]

I Cannot believe that my teacher has as proficiency's citeria for both speaking and writing,even though i will be taking the fce test :(

[HackMastery007]

Ohh my god,when i see people taking this fce exam,i get really nervous,becausei know that soon i will have take it too :(how many chances do i have based on these:

formal vocubulary

good english accent

i am 14 years old

[ddlecharclo35]

Funny accent. They describe the photographs instead of compare them! I have to pass this exam in May, and I look for ideas to improve my english..

[MsMalvada1]

I'm just 13 and I'm quite impressed, because they weren't as good as I thought! I'm going to pass the exam in May and by today I was sceard of taliking part ;PP Now I feel quite more safe.

I didn't like the part they talk about picture... It wasn't the best.

Actually the boy was worse than the girl.

[Vikifus]

@MsMalvada1 Yeah, she lacks the accent, but he has an awful grammar... Good luck!

[mileefronjonas]

the girl looks retarded

[IlGrandeHallel]

I've just sit for my speaking exam, now I have to wait and hope

[agusteaguste]

JaneLord

gooooooooood luuuuuuuck

[100sabalero]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa gallegos del orto, hablen bien manga de deformes, si ustedes pasaron con ese ingles a mi me tenia que poner un A+++++++++++++

[hungary23]

this guy...., can hardly undrstand

[lululm8]

I'm sitting for FCE next saturday. I'm really nervous and i didn't feel confident seconds ago, before watching this video...

Despite the fact that i've been learning English since i was 3 years old (now i'm 16) i am very scared!

[meveve93]

well, now I feel quite confident, I think I can do it better than the man and he got an A. I just hope I'm not so nervous that I confuse the words and can't get the ideas out of my mind..

[172616912A]

My speaking part was much more profound - more questions, less time, and I had to be very concentrated and also very swift.

[eQuiLLity]

9 people failed^^ FCE

[smellOoFlove]

it's a video to cheer you up and to make more people try to pass exam! it's not the level of English which allows to pass FCE i think

[Blockauto]

Damn i didnt knew people use hemp before the test!!

[cintiagorgeus]

omg if this girl had a c i think i'm gonna pass at least with a b ?? what happened to her??

[metioriter]

now that ive seen this video i know iim gonna approve :)

[MySedici]

jajaj pero que desastre! me examino mañana y estos dos representan mi pesadilla sobre el examen a la perfección

[JaneLord]

Ha! I completely agree with Viktor and Josome. My oral exam is tomorrow, and I practised a lot today, and I was a bit depressed because I thought I would not speak very well... but watching this has reeeeeeeeeeeally cheered me up!!! The boys sucked, and the girl culdn't stop laughing, what was wrong with her? Hahahah

[hungary23]

@JaneLord

How did you succed? 

[JaneLord]

Well I think I did quite well!! The exam wasn't that difficult at last. But, anyway, I still have to take the written exam (Reading, Writing and Use of English), and the "Listening", so, I have a lot to worry about... I'll be taking them next saturday. Wish me luck!

[MrAlbania96]

i dont get a word the boy is saying.

seriously if he got an A means i'll get an A plus or more lol

[agusteaguste]

lo rindo en.. media hora mas o menos.. tengo unos nervios.. te sentis re juzgado no importa cuanto sepas.. las palabras se te traban..

[Josome83]

Lo digo desde el respeto: la tía ha ido drogada?

[CRASHABC]

@Josome83 jaja ju nose?

[MrJesusGuadalajara]

@Josome83  sí

[fiorellart]

@Josome83 Te pasas oye! La chica está muy nerviosa se nota y hay diferentes formas de expresar el nerviosismo. Ojalá no nos pase a ninguno porque nos veríamos así.

[joseloe]

Por dios que desastre estos gallegos!

[MsComatose12]

oO.. are they for real?

[aclaveri]

Sería tal vez una buena idea indicar junto con el video cual es la evaluación final de los estudiantes, para poder compararse con ellos. En lo personal creo que el chico se expresó muy mal mientras que la chica lo hizo bastante mejor.

[tutionline1]

@aclaveri Neither of them!, I have my speaking test in three hours, and I consider they were so nervious that they could not express properly.... :S

[andrei13mo]

it is rellevant if you pass it with C or A?

p.s im glad to see your video I also want to pass this exam next summer and that's why i am asking

[andrei13mo]

@andrei13mo i mean as long if you pass it, it is rellevant which grade?

[LaMansionDelIngles]

@renzo1310 yes - a C and an A grade.

[122344567704]

@LaMansionDelIngles who took C, the boy, right?

[durbanscrew]

@LaMansionDelIngles i reckon that the girl shouldnt have passed, her english is awful

[VekuthoN]

@LaMansionDelIngles A? lol, they are bad
