Finding practice materials for Cambridge speaking tests can be difficult, so I compiled these questions for Cambridge C1 Advanced speaking.
The Cambridge C1 Advanced speaking test is in 4 parts.
Part 1 consists of general questions about yourself, your life and your opinions. This takes about 2 minutes, and you will probably be asked 3 or 4 questions.
In Part 2, you need to choose two pictures from a choice of three, then describe, compare and contrast these two pictures and answer two questions. You are only allowed 1 minute to do this, so some practice is essential. Part 2 sample answers are here.
Part 3 is in two parts. The first part is a discussion between you and the other candidate(s) using the topics on a given diagram. It is important in this part to interact with the other candidates well and not speak more than you should. The target language for this part is mainly agreeing, disagreeing, giving your opinion and asking for opinions. You have 2 minutes.
The second part is 1 minute for the candidates to come to an agreement which of the options is the best or most important.
Part 4 is general questions which cover the same topic as Part3, but in more depth. You are also expected to agree or disagree with the answers the other candidate(s) give and give your opinion. This part lasts a total of 4 minutes. In these answers, you should sound organised and give examples if you want. Try to talk about people in general rather than yourself, so it is more formal.
Sample answers for parts 3 and 4 are here.
Thank you for understanding that some of these pictures are a little unclear, this is so the page speed is not too slow.
