National Speaking Test Preparation




Time to prepare for the national speaking tests! 

In this blog post you will find different links where you can practice speaking and get familiar with the structure of the test.

On glosor.eu , if you use the username susles7812 and the password hello you will find a list of old topics of the national tests. These sets of words are called  "National test - Questions and answers" and "National test cards".

In these two sets of words on Quizlet you can practice discussion phrases: https://quizlet.com/239404359/discussion-words-flash-cards/  &
 https://quizlet.com/234736994/discussion-words-ii-flash-cards/ 

Here you can practice going through an old national speaking test.

1) Read the instructions on the page called "The World Around US" here: https://nafs.gu.se/digitalAssets/1356/1356787_theworldaroundus.pdf  Do "Part One". 

2) Pick a topic among the blue cards here: https://nafs.gu.se/digitalAssets/1356/1356788_bla_kort.pdf. Read the statement aloud. Say if you agree or disagree —explain why and give examples. Ask your friend/s what they think and why. 

3) Pick a topic among the red cards here: https://nafs.gu.se/digitalAssets/1356/1356776_roda_kort.pdf. Read the question aloud. Discuss your own opinions about the question —and also what other opinions there are.
