Free Time!

In part 1 of the speaking paper it is very common for the examiner to ask candidates about the things they like to do in their free time, in the evenings or during the weekends so it is important to prepare for these types of questions.

When answering questions in part 1 candidates will get higher marks if they show their ability to speak in different tenses. A good idea is to refer to what you did in the past compared to what you do now. For example: “I used to play tennis every week when I was younger, but nowadays I only play a few games in the summer”.
