Monologue and dialogue samples

As promised, here you'll find samples from previous exams. For the next mock exams, we'll focus on the monologues this time, so make sure you start preparing them: making mind maps, revising useful structures and lexis, such as idioms, phrasal verbs, etc., that you can use for each of the topics.

• Monologues
• Dialogues

Remember to have a look at the useful language and the tips to do your best.

Keeping distance

Sometimes, we feel we need to keep distance from what we say. Maybe because we intend to say it as gossip, or perhaps we're not sure of the veracity of the facts. It may also be because we don't want to be given the authorship of the ideas we express.

For that reason, we have the expressions of distancing, which allow us all the possibilities above. As always, this is a matter of practice, so make sure you revise the activities included on the slides, corresponding to the exercises on the Grammar Bank on your Student's Books.
