I remember when I took this exam in january of 2019 an I was really nervous. In the end, I got grade A. This videos helped me out so much during my preparation. Thx Cambridge. Now I'm looking forward to C2 level. Greetings from Brazil!
Thanks for this update, Lucas and good luck with your studies.
how are you studying for it?
Did you do anything other than what is shown on video like writing or reading
@@TheDebrali I don’t know if you still need the answer, but I have a teacher who teaches me what I have to do. She sends me some tests from the last years’ tests and I do them. There are 3 written tests: writing, listening and reading and use of English. Besides, there’s the Speaking. Try to do them, it really helps. If you want to know more about it I can answer you
@@lachimolala0812 Hi! how are you doing today? Id like to know more about the speaking because i need to enhance it as well as the listening, That is all for now. I look forward to seeing your answer, greetings and take care of yourself!
Victoria's english is outstanding, even being nervous as hell, she did very well, props to her!
12:03 I like how she shows them they should discuss the question together. It's a very useful gesture
ahahahahahahahahahahah
Gon Leproso you need to understand gestures to pass the exam haha
Yeah I know, I passed it with an A
I have the exam today and the examiner did the same gestures 😅
Cambridge should upload more videos like this because are really useful and you can see the examiner's comments, so you can know what were the mistakes
I didnt even know this trend existed until now but "my exams are tomorrow" 2021 gang :)
I hope it went well, didn't it?
have you passed it?)
now i am officially part of those who 'i have the exam tomorrow' lmaoooo im super anxious
It is funny, .... , you give me an idea, I am practicing every day because I am going to take the exam next Thursday, but I will be here on Wednesday, so i will be part of " I have the exam tomorrow" too.
I'm joining the "I have the exam tomorrow" group as of March 2019
Because it's never too late to have the exam the day after ;-)
Gabriele V. Mine is tomorrow. Im absolutely terrified
@@marah7272 what's the result? Mine exam is tomorrow(

I'm breaking "I've got the exam tomorrow" tradition. I've got it on Saturday and I'm going to pass it as best as I can! Greetings from Poland!
Greetings from Peru
Don't forget to read the examiner's comments on this test, they can be found in the description. She interrupted Victoria because they don't have a lot of time, so the answers must be straight to the point!
OMG I remember watching this video when I started my english course. It was like six months ago and I couldn't understand anything! It is incredible how I have improved, now I can understand everything and I'm able to identify some little mistakes! This video helped me a lot.
GOOD LUCK ON YOUR SPEACKINGS GUYS! Don't be nervous and remember that you have been preparing yourself for a long time, so YOU GOT THIS!
SPEAKING))))
What do you do to improve your English.
Where are there mistakes thankyou
Hi,I want to thank you for this videos...all of them has been very helpful for me until the point that I passed the test.Keep doing it,because it helps a lot of people.Thank a bunch!!
I just finished with my FCE for Schools test for B2 level and I am pretty satisfied with it, don't worry guys it is not hard, just do not think a lot about it and relax, speak casually during the whole speaking test.
I'm from Spain and tomorrow I'll have my exam for first certificate, I'm so nervous!
ClaraCAPhotography im spanish and i have it tomorrow😱

im spanish too and i have it tomorrow too!
Bueno y cómo te fue?

I remember watching this video about 1 year ago being on the point of attending the B2 exam... Well now I'm watching this being a C1 level and the level of accomplishment is immeasurable
I could enjoy very much this exam! Cause I can see that both had a great conversation about the topic! It was very interesting!! Congratulations guys
I've just had my speaking test, it was good, of course I didn't get my marks yet but I know it was good, I could reply to everything and give my own opinion 😊.
I send good vibes to those who must pass this exam.
Greetings from Milan 🙋
I had it about one hour ago. It was great. If you studied regularly, don't worry about it. I was shaking but when I walked through the room, the examiners were cheerful and they were great. Their pronunciation was 100 percent great. Just concentrate on a little and say things properly. Thanks to Cambridge for such a great exam.
I‘m 14 and doing the test in 1 week. I was very nervous but I found this video today and now I have confidence to do it! Wish me luck
I hope u did well
heyy!! how did it go? :)
Im 13 and taking it tommorow!❤
How was It?
how was it?!
Omg! I'm going to have the speaking in 2 weeks and I sure I'll have a heart attack when the examiner just watches me 🤣🤣
i thought it was only me to have heart attack lmao
How was it?
What was the result??
Congrats, you have 69 likes
Nice
I have the exam in two hours gang.
Good luck!
This video had really made me worried because I could never be as talkative as victoria and edward, like during practices I had I always ran out of things to say. But when I had the exam in June it was actually fine!!! The examiners were super nice and at one time when I ran out of things to say, the examiner actually gave me a hint by saying, ‘you’ve mentioned...could you tell us more about it’ or something like that. And during part 4 I just kept asking my partner what do you think(sorry hahahaha). Well I got my results back 3 weeks ago and got 186 for my speaking. And youtube somehow recommend this to me today! Brings back memories 🙈 to everyone whose going to take the exam soon: good luck!!!
I'm going to take the exam in 3 days , I was kind of nervous as I thought the level of my English was not good enough so as to pass the exam. However , after watching this , I think I'll do well :)
I had my speaking test today, and I must say it went pretty well. The main thing is not to be nervous, which can be avoided by practice! Good luck, everyone!
this is amazing! I remember taking my first FCE back in 2003. This video is so accurately, brings back memories of hard study and feeling really nervous
I have just gone through this speaking exam this evening, so nervous but time passed so quickly.. the interlocutors were nice as well.
I used to watch this video months ago and I was terrified, but now that I'm doing the exam tomorrow, this is actually making me less nervous...
I'll try to think "yes I can" so wish me luck :)
SAME
Did you pass?
HunterZZ yesss!! it wasn't that bad, you just have to feel confident and think you're chatting to one of your friends! I got really good marks! 183 out of 190! I'll probably try and get the C1 level next year :)
Fatima YTB Omg, 183 out of 190...
How much time did they need to have the results? And btw, where are you from?
Someone Out There I'm from Spain, my results were available like 2 weeks after the exam :)
That's the 3rd time I watch such kind of speaking tutorials and it's getting a tradition :D My exam is in 1 day and it's the best time for preparing, finally :D
Thanks for uploading this kind of videos, it really helps me improve my speaking skills. I also love them to be more relaxed when doing an oral exam.
Thanks in advance!! Very helpful!
Good environment! I like the way how teachers evaluate students' performance.
I Like these videos, we can learn a lot and be more confident of ourselves. I'm from Peru too, I hope the guy got a good mark!
This video helped me a lot to see how this part of the exam was like.
I didn't pass with the best grades, but guess who got an A on Speaking?
Thank you so much for this material, Cambridge.
Greetings from Uruguay!
Great job!
@@cambridgeenglishtv thank you!
Round now it's my turn to improve my english with this video and this month it's my speaking exam which i feel a little nervous, but a good opportunity to show how much have i learned english.
I have a B1 English level and I decided to come back to college in September to start the first level...all of these guys that face an exam to achieve a better English level can just encourage me to continue to study English😊
Don't worry watch SMASH english video On the speaking. The video on avoiding present simple is SO USEFUL it has helped me a lot
Guys, I just did my speaking exam and it went amazing. Don't worry and everything will be fine!
what was your mark?
Tomorrow I'll be taking my Speaking test and honestly I feel very confident. In my particular point of view the most difficult part in the test was the listening,I did not catch at the first time
omg... I’ve been reading “I am going to do it tomorrow” for a long long time and now I can’t believe that my time has come. I’m sooooo nervous! I am super talkative and when I’m anxious it gets worse... kinda having a heart attack at this moment! I don’t wanna miss it.
i took this exam a month ago
he is peruvian!!!
he is my countrymen.
greetings from Peru
yes maybe they could use more 'funtional' lenguage but the thing is that you dont know how hard this is for not native speakers. Sometimes we dont have the right amount of vocabulary to do something like this bc, let's be honest, we cant never know all the words, and the exam situation is stressing so i think that yes they could do it better but considering everything and the effort they put on this, i think they were great!!
this video is very transmitted in classes of english for the FCE in Peru,i have seen like 7 times by different teachers and i could say that if you want to pass the FCE you obbligatory should have to watch this video
5 days until my exam, i feel confident but nervous at the same time, greetings from Spain. Good luck to you all guys too!
I'm doing the exam on Saturday. Unluckily the speaking paper is the last part. I think it'll hard for us to do it well,but we'll try! Speaking part is very simple according to me. I'm Italian and I'm from the South of Italy!
I remember this like it was yesterday i was soo nervous i was 17 now im 21 but I remember watching this and practicing... nailed the speaking part with a 98/100 i was extremely happy
O have the exam tomorrow and I can’t wait!
Been preparing the whole year for this moment.
I loved the way they look at each other; it seems so lovely. 😍 The German girl is so cute and confident. The Peruvian boy is also cute but a little shy. About their exam, it was good. 😄💪🏻 I see that I need to study more and try to improve my vocabulary. Congrats!
I'm 16 years old and Danish. We just got the chance to take the B2 program, and i'm gonna be taking the exam in 9 months👍
I'm just amazed with the speaking level of the german girl. For me it's pretty high and fluent, hopefully some day I'll be able to reach that level of performance.
I think that Victoria get a great fluency and used many words in her speech instead Edward that looks some nervous in the middle and the end of the test, thanks guys and I hope that you get a great note.
Well this is a really good vedio. I normally get nervous when I do the tests in fce. Especially speaking. This vedio really helped me to build up my confidence and do the exam properly
Victoria and Edward was both well - prepared. I'm listening to them with pleasure 🙃
quite enviable the english level that the german girl has achieved, worthy of admire and at first glance it doesn't look as hard as these are quite useful videos to keep into practise listening skills, thanks alot..
I have to congrat both of them, they did it literally very well and in pretty different ways, love it. Btw i love Victoria's accent very german hhahah
My examen is tomorrow and i'm a little nervous, but confident about having a good examen. Wish me luck!
Alvaro Acero did you pass? :)
Yeah, did you?
Exam* :) did u pass?
I'm taking the speaking test tomorrow! I'm peruvian too
Como te fue? Que te preguntaron?
Bien, lo unico dificil fué el listening test... me preguntaron sobre mi familia, como paso el tiempo con ellos, si es posible divertirse sin gastar dinero, que fué lo ultimo que compré... y no me acuerdo mas hahaha
I'm from Romania and i think that this video would help me for my b2 exam. Thank you :)
Thank you very much for this video. It really helps us.
I'm having this exam next week! Definitely need to practise a lot D:
I'm starting to practice today and I have the exam in two days
Yeyy
Hello guys, my name is Antonio, and I'm joining the "I got it in an hour" club
I am watching all the vídeos again, I am so nervous because tomorrow I will take the speaking test. If someone has any advice, pelase tell me
+Sora marino How was it? I'm taking it tomorrow and I'm so nervous too
Lucia German I think it was good. I was like you, very very nervous but when I enter into the classroom I THOUGH "ok, do it well"
I find Part 1,3 & 4 easy, but on part 2 I made an mistake. Because I had a "blank moment" it was terrible!!! And for the Part 3 with a discussion with a partner, my partner all the time wanted to have the "final phrase", it was a little bit disgusting for me.
Any way, You will do it well!! Keep calm and have a nice moment there!!
**My examinators were very sympathetic with us!!
+Sora marino Hi! I think it went well, but I made some mistakes, anyway it was good. The examiner was smiling all the time and it was kinda frightening but she was very nice
Lucia German Oh i'm glad that you answer back!! I'm happy that you went well, mistakes all we did. Now we just nedd to wait to do the other parts of the test and GOOD LUCK!!! You will do it very well!!
+Sora marino Thank you!! Good luck for you too! When do you have the other parts?
God! Im starting becoming anxious with the FCE! Especially with the Oral Test...
As a peruvian, I´m feel so proud of Edward. OMG! That is so exciting.
Finally! I’m part of the “I’m going to take it tomorrow”
I'm so nervous, i have the exam in 2 weeks and I'm dying!!!
gigi LC Good luck! Don't worry, you'll do great. I did my exam in June and it wasn't hard at all. When you do writing, use in addition, secondly, firstly, therefore etc. in your essay. Pick the other theme wisely so it isn't too hard. I wrote on their paper as soon as writing started, and still got 190, even though it was a bit messy because I had to cross out the mistakes. Listening was a bit tricky, but don't panic if you can't answer a question! Just go with an answer that makes sense. Speaking isn't hard at all. They asked me about school, do you need to win or is it ok to just participate, should students get awards for their success etc. In conclusion, I was dying just like you are right now, but then I realised it is quite an easy test. Come on, if I got an overall score of 189/190, you can get it too!
How was your exam?
Nadja Markov hi can I ask you something about the exam?
IM TODAY
I have the exam in two hours I'M LITERALLY DYING LMAO
I think lots of peruvians feels a bit more proud due to this video, like me, this gives me more confidence for my exam, good luck to everyone, and thanks Cambridge english for make a video with a peruvian :D
I still have 3 months before the exam, but eventually it will be tomorrow...
I must use this precious time in the right way!
officially joining the I have the exam in 2 days squad, pretty nervous but we'll see
i am officially part of the "I have the fce exam tomorrow" club
And the value of these videos are extreme -- please keep on posting such and Thanks a lot
Glad you like them!
@@cambridgeenglishtv thanks a lot
The examinator is such a pretty intelligent lady💜i want more people of this kind around me
How great Mrs. Cook is.

How did it went?
Omgg just had my exam, went pretty good !

This is one the best exam that I have never seen
I have the exam tomorrow, I hope everything goes well
exam in 2 hours! thank you for this video!
Tomorrow I'm taking the oral part. I took the written part a week ago, it was pretty easy.
I HAVE MY SPEAKING EXAM IN 30 MINUTES SO IM ANXIOUS
I can't believe it...Edward is peruvian! At last someone not european appears on these type of videos..I'm 15 years old and I'm from Peru too and I'm taking the FCE next week( June,13)..I'm really looking forward to that day..can't wait any longer and I wanna get a grade A ...hope I can achieve it. Good luck to those who dare to tak this important exam :D
Diego Tasayco Yáñez i'm peruvian too :D i'm 17 years old. I don't understand what is this exam for? can you explain it to me? is it to enter at the cambridge university or what is the purpose to do this exam? i'm studying at Icpna but i really like and i use british accent and grammar
OneDirection2V oye por cierto ...tú eres hombre o mujer? donde estudias? sigues en colegio? cuanto años tienes? jaja perdón por tantas preguntas =)
Diego Tasayco Yáñez Im taking it on 29th July and i am rather scared of the writing and reading part of the exam, im not that nervous cuz of the speaking part
OneDirection2V The purpose of these exams is to get a CAMBRIDGE CERTIFICATE which measure your level of English. For example, you can apply for a job where it's necessary to have an intermediate level of English.
sisi nilova well, hope you have done it extraordinarily...In my opinion I think that reading is only a bit stressing and a bit difficult if your vocabulary is not so extensive,but if it is you´ll have no problem. Use of English is the easiest part of the exam. writing, for me, wasn´t difficult ´cause I have facility to write. but the most difficult part is and will be listening. Speaking depend on you but also on the examinator.
pdta: I took the FCE on June,13th and I got a grade B( I passed with 173)....tell me about your result as soon as they come. =)
I did the same task in my ebglish course last month
The same questions to discuss with a partner and also the same pictures which the boy talked about
This does put a smile on my face
These videos are very helpful for students preparing for the Cambridge exams. They give students an idea of what to expect and how speaking exam is set up. It would be helpful if we knew the outcome of the exams as students often ask, 'did they pass'.
Can anyone who is preparing for Cambridge exams contact me or leave me a comment.
paul p See above Paul, this is how it all started.....
Al the comments are pretty old. Are less people taking this exam nowadays? I got it tomorrow and am pretty stressed.
Best of luck! 🤞 If you have time and want a quick exercise: www.cambridgeenglish.org/learning-english/ or visit our Facebook for quick tips facebook.com/CambridgeEnglish/
