Speaking: Personal Information Flashcards

Directly stating your place of origin with 'I am from...' is the clearest and most natural answer to this question.

A KET candidate is asked about their job. They work part-time in a store. Which answer is best?

Answer: I work part-time as a shop assistant.

'I work part-time as a shop assistant' is grammatically correct and gives clear, relevant information at A2 level.

In KET Speaking Part 1, candidates are expected to answer questions about themselves for approximately how long?

Answer: 1–2 minutes

KET Speaking Part 1 lasts about 1–2 minutes where candidates answer personal information questions.

The examiner asks: 'Do you have any brothers or sisters?' The candidate has one brother. What is the best reply?

'Yes, I have got one brother' uses correct grammar and natural word order for this A2-level response.

Which phrase correctly tells an examiner your email address during a KET speaking task?

Answer: My email address is john at gmail dot com.

'My email address is...' is the standard, grammatically correct way to state this information.

A KET candidate wants to say they enjoy playing football in their free time. Which sentence is correct?

Answer: In my free time, I like playing football.

'I like playing football' is correct because 'like' is not normally used in the continuous form and 'playing' follows naturally.

During KET Speaking, the examiner asks 'What do you do at the weekend?' Which answer shows the best A2 language use?

Answer: At the weekend, I usually visit my friends or watch TV.

The answer uses correct present simple tense, natural connectors ('or'), and is clear and appropriately simple for A2 level.
