Thank you for the recipe. Everyone liked it very much...

Paper 5 Speaking

Task 1 Imagine that you are preparing a project with your friend. You have found some interesting material for the presentation and you want to read this text to your friend. You have 1. 5 minutes to read the text silently, then be ready to read it out aloud. You will not have more than 1. 5 minutes to read it.

The highest mountain is located on Mars. The giant volcano Mount Olympus is the highest mountain in the solar system and in the known universe. At 14 miles and 388 miles across, it is almost three times the height of Mount Everest and so wide that its base would cover Arizona, or the whole of the area of the British Isles. The crater on the top is around 45 miles wide and over nearly 2 miles deep, easily big enough to swallow London. We traditionally measure mountains by their height. If we measured them by their size, it would be meaningless to isolate one mountain in a range from the rest. That being so, Mount Everest would dwarf Olympus Mons. It is part of the gigantic range which is nearly 1, 500 miles long.

Task 2 You are considering visiting a museum and you'd like to get more information. In 1. 5 minutes you are to ask five direct questions to find out the following:

1) location of the museum

You have 20 seconds to ask each question.

Task 3 These are photos from your photo album. Choose one photo to describe to your friend.

• why you decided to show the picture to your friend

You have to talk continuously, starting with: " I’ve chosen photo number … ".
