Hi! Welcome to English Like a Native. I’m Anna. Let’s do a Cambridge B2 First exam together.
The Cambridge B2 First exam is designed for two people to have a real conversation with each
other with a speaking examiner. In the actual exam, the examiner will use your name but in
this video I’ll just say ‘A’ and ‘B’. So, get your speaking partner and decide who is A and who is B.
Are you sitting comfortably? Let’s begin!
Good morning. I’m Anna and this is my colleague, Simon.
And your names are…?
Can I have your marks sheets, please?
Thank you.
First we’d like to know something about you.
A, Where are you from?
B, Where are you from?
B, What’s your favourite website?
What did you do on your last birthday?
A, Are you going to do anything exciting this weekend?
Who do you get on with best and why?
In this part of the test I’m going to give each of you two photographs. I’d like you
to talk about the photographs on your own for about a minute,
and also to answer a question about your partner’s photographs.
A, it’s your turn first. Here are your photographs.
They show people communicating in different ways.
I’d like you to compare the photographs,
and say why you think these people may choose to communicate in these ways.
All right?
B, which form of communication do you prefer? Why?
Thank you.
Now, B, here are your photographs. They show people doing different outdoor activities.
I’d like you to compare the photographs, and say what the benefits of each activity are.
All right?
A, do you prefer indoor or outdoor activities? Why?
Thank you
Now I’d like you to talk about something together for about two minutes. I’d like you to imagine
that a canteen wants to encourage people to eat healthier food. Here are some ideas they’re
thinking about and a question for you to discuss. First, you have some time to look at the task.
(Show task on screen) (Pause for 15 seconds)
Now, talk to each other about why these ideas might encourage people to eat healthier food.
Now you have about a minute to decide which is the easiest idea for the canteen to implement.
Thank you.
B, Does eating more healthily cost more money?
A, What do you think?
A, Do you think it’s the responsibility of a canteen to encourage people to eat healthily?
B, Do you agree?
B, Why do you think people decide to eat junk food?
A, Do you agree?
A, Do you think the taste or nutritional value of food is more important?
B, What do you think?
Thank you. That is the end of the test.
Goodbye.
