Many ESL teachers were appraised of the eventual changes in 2020 and most of us began teaching the new structure in 2019. Also, if you're studying in December 10 of 2019 for a Cambridge exam, you're prob gonna be taking the exam in 2020.

[@sbennett2435]

They changed the format of the B1 exams and new format came into effect in 2020. This is in the new format so that is what the date probably refers to. This is probably an early trial for the new format.

[@sandramunera442]

A good way of practice is doing these interviews by yourself while you hear the questions in the video. You could think it's kind of crazy, but it doesn't matter. It's sometimes helpful to become fluency and feel sure of what you Say.

How can the interlocutor ask the question " Do you have a favourite sports team " to one candidate then ask the other if he agrees? you cant agree to a personal question , surely the question should be " and whats your favourite sports team" This is not an open ended question , bad example in my opinion.

[@socorrolima2696]

[@Lama-it6rk]

Sometimes its proper to keep speaking and add more empty extra words, more for the phonetic impact, and sometimes it's better just answering with the fewest words possible. I don't like the first option, cause I'm not very good at it, but it can prevent cringe situations and can help you to look more prepared with your English. So I think everyone should prepare some repertory phrases just to vomit them in the speech, to impress more the listener.

[@AlbertoDiFede]
