Prepare for the CIPLE oral component with topic cards and typical exam questions.
Oral Production and Interaction is worth 25% of the final score. It is a face-to-face conversation with an examiner (and usually another candidate). It lasts about 15 minutes and has three parts.
Talk about yourself: name, nationality, where you live, family, work, daily routine, hobbies. The examiner asks simple, direct questions.
Simulation of a practical situation with another candidate: arranging a meeting, making plans, asking for information, solving a problem.
Conversation about an everyday topic: travel, health, shopping, transport, free time. The examiner asks for your opinion.
It's better to speak with errors than to stay silent. The examiner assesses your ability to communicate, not perfection.
"Eu acho que...", "Na minha opinião...", "Gosto de... porque..." — short, clear phrases are enough.
Practise talking about family, work, routine, hobbies and plans. These topics come up almost every time.
Listen to the full question before answering. If you don't understand, you can ask: "Pode repetir, por favor?"
