APTIS GENERAL SPEAKING: INFORMATION, TIPS AND A LINK TO PRACTICE IT

Part 1 Personal information:  In this part, you are asked to answer three questions on personal topics. You are expected to talk for 30 seconds per question. 
To prepare for this task, it is a good idea to practise introducing yourself and talking about your personal experiences. Think about familiar topics (e.g. holidays, weekend activities, sports) and practise giving general information. At the highest levels, try not to talk in lists but instead use connecting devices, complex sentences and a wide range of grammar. 

Part 2 Describe, express opinion and provide reasons and explanations: In this part, you are asked to describe a photograph and then answer two questions related to the topic illustrated in the photo. The three questions increase in complexity (from description to opinion). You are expected to talk for 45 seconds per question. 
You should try to be fluent and spontaneous, showing little sign of effort. Make sure you answer all three questions.

Part 3 Describe, compare and provide reasons and explanations: In this part, you are asked to compare two pictures and then answer two questions related to the topic. The three questions increase in complexity (from description to speculation). You are expected to talk for 45 seconds for each question.
To prepare for this task, it is a good idea to practice comparing two different things (e.g. two cities or two houses). Focus on describing their advantages and disadvantages. With speculation, it is essential to make sure you are using the correct grammatical structures.

Part 4 Discuss personal experience and opinion on an abstract topic: In the final section, you will see a picture and be asked three questions about an abstract issue. You are given one minute to prepare an answer and can take notes. You are expected to talk for two minutes. A standard error is to describe the photo. You will not receive a high score if you describe the picture. The questions are more abstract (e.g. how do you feel about something). Another common error is to go off-topic. Focus on answering each question in a clear, smoothly flowing, well-structured speech.
 To prepare for this part, it is a good idea to practise speaking for two minutes on an abstract topic (e.g. How do you feel about ___?). Make sure you practise using your planning time wisely to structure what you are going to say.
