The Speaking section of the A2 Key Exam consists of two parts:

1. Introductory phase

During this part, the examiner will ask you a series of personal questions about yourself and your life.

The questions will be related to topics such as your daily routine, hobbies, interests, family, friends, etc.

You will need to provide short answers and engage in simple conversation with the examiner.

This part is designed to assess your ability to speak about yourself and your experiences in English.

2. Collaborative task

During this part, you will be asked to give a longer, more detailed answer on a specific topic. The examiner will ask you to look at some pictures about the same topic, and then they will ask you a question about the pictures and tell you to talk with your partner about the question.

The topic will be related to your personal experiences, interests, or opinions.

You will have a few seconds to prepare your answer, and then you will be expected to speak for around 1-2 minutes.
