As I told you last Friday in class, here I leave you a list of the possible tasks you'll have to do in the speaking part of the exam. Try to prepare them a little but at home, revise the vocabulary that you need for them and ask me if you have any doubt.

Here's the list:

2. Buying food and drinks. Conversation between the waiter and the customer in a restaurant. Vocabulary about food, drinks, ordering a meal...

4. Talking about daily routines. Explain your daily routines, using the time when you do these things...
5. Talking about your home. Describing what you can find in your house.
6. Giving directions. Explain someone how to arrive to a certain point.
