Starting the speaking test

0:00

Hi everyone, welcome to a new episode of

0:02

Easy English. So, we're back on the

0:05

streets of Müster in northwest Germany

0:08

and I want to ask an English language

0:11

test question and I'm basing this on the

0:14

International English Language Testing

0:17

System or as you may know it the LS

0:21

test. The LTS is a recognized

0:24

international standardized test of

0:27

English language proficiency for

0:28

non-native English speakers. Passing

0:31

this test is often a requirement in

0:33

order to obtain a visa to work in most

0:35

English-speaking countries. The speaking

0:38

test is divided into three different

0:40

stages increasing in difficulty. The

0:42

first stage is answering a simple

0:44

question. The second is speaking about a

0:47

topic and the third is a general

0:49

discussion. Let's see how Germans get

0:51

on. Let's go.

0:56

Do you enjoy dining out at restaurants?

1:01

Yeah, I I guess it depends on the

1:03

persons you're dining with. So, in

1:07

general, I would say yeah, I enjoy uh

1:10

dining at casual restaurants mainly.

1:13

Yeah, that's a good answer. Do you

1:16

prefer to have a lot of friends or a

1:19

small group
