Apréndelo todo sobre la Parte 3 del Speaking del C1 Advanced de Cambridge. Descripción, respuestas de ejemplo y todo el contenido en PDF para descargar.



Ya te he contado todo sobre las Partes 1 y 2 del CAE Speaking, así que en este artículo me centraré más específicamente en la Parte 3 del CAE Speaking. Al hacerlo, daré una descripción completa de esta parte, que, junto con la Parte 2 del C1 Speaking, es la parte más popular del examen. Como veremos en los próximos párrafos, ambos candidatos deben trabajar juntos para tener éxito en esta parte de la prueba.
La Parte 3 del CAE Speaking es la principal tarea colaborativa del examen C1 Advanced. En esta parte, tú y tu compañero recibís un tema en forma de pregunta y algunas ideas relacionadas con él. A continuación, se espera que desarrolléis una discusión de dos minutos sobre el tema, utilizando las ideas proporcionadas (opcional). Cuando los dos minutos terminen, se os pedirá que toméis una decisión con respecto al tema. Tendréis un minuto más para hacerlo.

Aunque ya he mencionado el tiempo en la sección anterior, veamos una descripción más específica de cómo se lleva a cabo esta parte y cuánto tiempo se supone que dura:
Y ahora que sabemos exactamente cuánto dura, pasemos a las instrucciones de este examen, para que sepas exactamente qué esperar el día del examen. Y no hay mejor manera de hacerlo que con un ejemplo de la Parte 3 del C1 Advanced Speaking.
– Interlocutor: Now, I’d like you to talk about something together for about two minutes.
Here are some things people think about when moving to a different country for work and a question for you to discuss. First you have some time to look at the task.
(El examinador coloca la siguiente imagen frente a vosotros y os da 15 segundos para leer la pregunta y estudiar las opciones).

– Interlocutor: Now, talk to each other about how important these things are when considering living in a different country for work.
– Candidate A: Would you like to begin, or shall I?
– Candidate B: You can go first. Go ahead.
– Candidate A: Cheers. While moving abroad, it’s important to keep in mind the distance between your own country and the one you’re moving to. That’s gonna affect your cost to come home on vacation, as well as the time difference when you’re calling your friends and family back home. Would you agree?
– Candidate B: That’s an excellent point. You’re right, I guess I hadn’t given that much thought at first. Since you mentioned it, I think your family and friends also need to be considered. I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty sure it’s easier to move somewhere where you already know some people. What do you think?
– Candidate A: Sure, that’d make it so much easier. I know it’s hard to leave your loved ones behind. Let’s talk about the language now, as this is probably one of the most important things to bear in mind about before moving abroad. Don’t you think it would be nuts to move abroad for work if you can’t speak the language?
– Candidate B: Oh yeah, sure. Yeah. If you are moving for work, you should learn the language of the country you are moving to. What about the differences in currency and culture? Do you consider them to be important?
– Candidate A: Having to operate in another currency is not a big deal, because you can pick it up in a few days, but cultural differences… that’s another story, wouldn’t you say?
– Candidate B: Yes, definitely. Culture is such a broad concept that it takes years to get accustomed to a new one. Therefore, I think it’s worth getting to know a country’s culture before moving there. Well, that’s my philosophy anyway.
Cuando pasen los primeros dos minutos, el examinador interrumpirá la conversación anterior para decir:
Thank you. Now you have about a minute to decide which aspect is the least important when moving to a different country for work.
– Candidate A: Okay… what are your thoughts? Which one do you think is the least important?
– Candidate B: Well, I believe we have already discussed it. To my mind, the currency is not something you should be concerned about before moving to another country. Once you start using it, you will quickly become familiar with it; you will just need to keep it in mind before your trip so that you can exchange some money beforehand. How do you feel about that? Do you agree?
– Candidate A: Yeah, I do. It’s just one of those aspects of living abroad that you get used to very quickly. And it’s not as important as other aspects like language or cultural differences, right?
– Candidate B: Yes, exactly. So, shall we agree on this one?
– Candidate A: Yes, sure. We have an agreement.
Thank you. Can I have the booklet, please?
