When you get to C1 level, describing a picture for Cambridge Advanced CAE Speaking Part 2 seems like it should be an easy task. However, the reality is that you have to do more than just describe pictures. In CAE Speaking Part 2 you have to compare two pictures (out of a choice of three), answer two questions about the pictures, and do all of that in one minute! Also, if you want to score extra points, you have to remember to organise your ideas, use high-level vocabulary, pronounce everything correctly and speak with complex grammar.

The pictures to compare for CAE Speaking Part 2, also known as the Long Turn, will always include people engaged in some type of activity. The questions about the pictures attempt to design a complex situation for candidates to discuss. In addition, abstract concepts such as relationships between people and the subjects’ feelings are quite likely to come up at this level.

For the CAE speaking exam, you will come across a wide variety of topics. Almost anything is possible, but expect Cambridge to favour topics like education, work or leisure, which are reasonably accessible for all candidates. Keep in mind that these exams are created for a global audience, so whatever the topic is, it will be generic enough to be usable in any exam environment whether it’s in South America, Europe or Asia.

Here’s a list of topics that come up at Cambridge C1 Advanced level and are possible as CAE Speaking Part 2 pictures.

It’s important to practise a lot for this part of the exam. Sometimes the pictures you get are slightly odd, so the more practice you have beforehand, the better prepared you’ll be to tackle even the most bizarre topics. We’ve got a series of eight CAE Speaking Part 2 tasks below for you to get started.

Advanced (CAE) Speaking Part 2 Example

In part 2 of the Advanced CAE Speaking Exam you will be asked to choose two photographs from a selection of three and to answer two questions about those photographs. You have one minute to complete the task. Your partner will then be asked a question about the topic of your pictures. This should be a short answer (approximately 30 seconds). The process is then repeated with the other candidate.

Here is an example of an Advanced CAE Speaking Part 2 test.

In this part of the test, I’m going to give each of you three pictures. I’d like you to talk about two of them on your own for about a minute, and also to answer a question briefly about your partner’s pictures.
(Candidate A), it’s your turn first. Here are your pictures. They show people spending time alone in different situations.

I’d like you to compare two of the pictures, and say why the people might want to be alone in these situations, and how they might be feeling.

All right?

……………………………………………………

Thank you.
(Candidate B), do you enjoy spending time alone? …… (Why? / Why not?)

……………………………………………………

Thank you. (Can I have the booklet, please?)
Now, (Candidate B), here are your pictures. They show people in risky situations.

I’d like you to compare two of the pictures, and say why the people might be in risky situations, and how they might deal with the risk involved.

All right?

……………………………………………………

Thank you.
(Candidate A), do you think you are a risk-taker? …… (Why? / Why not?)

……………………………………………………
Thank you. (Can I have the booklet, please?)

During the test, the examiner won’t speak, but they could encourage you to speak more using gesture if you finish too early. Don’t stop speaking until the examiner stops you by saying “Thank you”. You don’t want to find yourself waiting awkwardly while the examiner counts down the seconds.

The Materials

Practise with these Advanced Speaking Part 2 pictures. Either use them from the website or download the CAE speaking pdf to practise, print or display.

In class, you can split the students into groups of three with two candidates and an examiner. The examiner should introduce the task, keep time and make notes about good vocabulary or grammar the candidates use. Rotate the pictures, rinse and repeat. Meanwhile, the teacher can be noting down errors for a post-task correction stage.

Suggested CAE Review Structure

Use the introductory paragraph to name what you are going to be reviewing, state its genre (i.e. a science fiction novel, a horror movie, a vaudeville performance and so on). It is possible to write about author’s other notable works if there are any. To make your introduction more engaging, you may briefly state your general impression on it. Make your introduction at least three sentences long.

Your first body paragraph should give a short summary of the reviewed material. Give a brief overview — plot, setting, actors, general idea. Avoid giving your opinion in this paragraph — you will do this in the following passages.

Second and third body paragraphs can be used to describe good and bad points respectively. Unlike CAE Writing Part 1 your paragraphs don’t have to be of same length — if you liked the described thing then your paragraph with good points will be naturally bigger than the other one. In the negative points paragraph you can name things that could be changed to improve the quality of the product.

Conclusion will contain your general impression and your verdict. Use this paragraph to sum up the good and bad points to make an objective assessment of the reviewed material. You may then recommend or dissuade your readers from seeing/attending it.

The title I am going to review is a rare example when the movie manages to trump the book it is based on. Today I am reviewing Fight Club by an infamous American novelist Charles Palahniuk — his most widely-known, universally acclaimed work.

It is a daunting task to find a person unfamiliar with the movie. The plot engages you from the very start — a young professional finds his apartment destroyed by an explosion of unknown origin. Agitated, he phones his newfound acquaintance Tyler whom he had met on the plane. They see each other at a bar and the story becomes increasingly complex, yet pleasantly effortless to follow. Through its narrative a number of problems are tackled – self-identity, peer pressure, middle-life crises and some other. The characters are likeable and easy to relate to. Both acting and directing are superb. But what makes it better than the book?

The only objective fault I could find in the book was the order of events. It goes back and forth, which at times proves to be confusing. The movie manages the sequencing much better. Other than that the book is brilliant — vigorous prose that manages to evoke strong images. The movie however is so good that the book tends to slightly fade in all its glory. People tend to read the book after seeing the adaptation, thus coming with high expectations that can be hard to meet.

To sum this up, I would recommend reading the book nonetheless. It may seem inferior in some respects, but it does help to understand the main theme of “Fight Club” better.

CAE Writing Part 1 Sample Essay

Tuition fees have never been low — on the contrary, only the chosen few can comfortably afford paying their studying costs. To participate in a scholarship programme has always been every student’s aspiration. Not only does the scholarship spare serious expenses, it also looks good on one’s CV. In the paragraphs below I will explain my opinion on why members of poor families and students with outstanding marks should be getting preferences for scholarship programme participation.

Young people from families with insufficient means are generally unable to to pay for their education. Conversely, children of financially-sound households are more likely to get into scholarship, as they usually have much better secondary education — not to mention their parents being well able to cover tuition fees. These facts eventually lead to further widening of the wealth gap between the rich and the poor, entailing a number of social and economic issues. Such opportunity inequality could be mitigated by lowering the scholarship requirements for the less wealthy.
Prospective students with impressive academic records should not be discouraged from continuing their education by charging for it. Considering their mental aptitude and zeal, these young people are very likely to become highly-qualified professionals, potentially making an appreciable contribution to society. Therefore they ought to be eligible for scholarship participation even if they do not meet other, non-academic requirements.

Provision of scholarship grants is not an easy task. The decision-making system should be fair and impartial, ensuring that only the most worthy and needy have their academic expenses taken care of by the government. It is only then we can ensure that the programme serves its initial purpose.
