General Conversation

Good morning! I'd like you to pretend that you don't know each other. Ask questions to find out as much information as possible about each other.

In this section the examiner invites the candidates to ask each other questions in order to get information about personal details, home town, school, jobs, family etc. At an appropriate point, candidates should be asked to spell something (e. g. name, hometown, e-mail address).

Hier sollt ihr euch 3 Minuten gegenseitig ausquetschen ...

"What's your name?"

"Have you got a pet?"

... und immer auf die Antworten reagieren:

"Oh, a dog! What kind of dog?"

- "It's a golden retriever."

- "What's its name?"

- "No, not its - he's called Timmy!"

- "How old is he?"

- "He's 7 months."

- "Oh, that must be fun to have a puppy ..and a lot of work!"

Ihr werdet sehen, die Zeit vergeht wie im Flug!
