Extra practice
During the next lesson, students can discuss the extra 
information/advice they found on the website.
More activities
1
Set up a true or false game. Students have to write one 
true and one false sentence about themselves and their 
achievements, e.g. 
I have been skydiving, I have got a 
degree in Spanish
. They then read out their sentences 
and the other students have to decide which sentence is 
true and which is false.
2
Students can discuss how they would advise interview 
candidates to deal with questions b, d and e in Exercise 
1. They could discuss their advice in pairs or small groups, 
and then compare their advice with that of other pairs/
groups in a whole-class discussion.
3
Discuss the speaking component of any English-language 
exams that students have taken. What did they have to do 
in the interview?
