most.
Give Student A one minute and then ask this 
question to Student B.
Teacher: (Student B), what does your family 
do for fun?

each other about what the challenges of eating healthy might be.

Teacher: Thank you. Now you have a minute to decide what the biggest challenge is for people 
who decide to adopt a healthy diet.

in these places.

question to Student A.
Teacher: (Student A), in which of these places 
would you have a better time? Why?
QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION:
 § Some people say it’s bad to be an 
only child because you don’t learn 
how to share. What do you think?
 § Some people believe living in 
small towns is far from ideal

to do and there are very few job 
opportunities.

ASSESSMENT GUIDELINES FOR THE ORAL TESTS
In order to promote teachers’ and students’ familiarization with what is expected in the FCE, the 
Midterm and Final Oral Tests for Advanced 1 and 2 follow the same typology as the speaking 
component of the exam.
Cambridge English official criteria and scales are also to be applied when assessing students. They 
can be found in the Intranet > Educação > Cursos de Inglês > Advanced > Documentos Comuns > PET 
– Handbook for Teachers (pages 47, 48).
There are four aspects to be assessed. Marks given for each aspect range from 0 to 5.
To obtain the overall Midterm Oral Test score (10), the marks for each aspect should be added up 
and then divided by two. This score should then be registered in the Students’ Evaluation Chart. For 
example:
To obtain the overall Final Oral Test score (20), the marks for each aspect should simply be added up. 
This score should then be registered in the Students’ Evaluation chart. For example:
The procedures for the setup of the test can also be found in the Intranet > Educação> Cursos 
de Inglês > Documentos Comuns Kids a Pre-advanced, ME1 e 2 > Oral Tests - Orientações. 
Complementary guidelines can also be found in the PET - Handbook for Teachers.
