Speaking: communicate and interact in speech explained
This criterion rewards range and accuracy together.
Read the full explanation
You need varied vocabulary suited to the topic, a spread of grammatical structures, and some more complex forms such as subordinate clauses, comparatives or conditional constructions. Crucially, you must refer to past, present and future events, so a strong answer moves between tenses naturally, for example describing what you did last Eid, what you usually do at weekends and what you plan to do next summer. Accuracy matters: choose forms you can control rather than ambitious structures you cannot complete. In a multiple-choice task, select the option that best combines appropriate vocabulary, accurate grammar and correct tense reference across all three time frames.
Your focus
- Select vocabulary that is varied and appropriate to the topic
- Identify accurate use of a range of grammatical structures including more complex forms
- Recognise correct reference to past, present and future events
