Part 3 is the collaborative task. You and your partner receive a question with five prompts in a visual spider diagram. You discuss the options together for about two minutes, asking for opinions, agreeing, disagreeing, and developing ideas. The examiner then gives you an additional question that requires you to reach some kind of decision together. The goal is not to choose the “right” answer but to show good communication: taking turns, inviting your partner to speak, and building on their ideas.

Part 4 is a follow-up discussion with the examiner. The questions relate to the theme from Part 3 but require deeper, more abstract responses. You speak individually, though the examiner may ask both partners to react to each other’s ideas. Here, you should expand your answers, compare viewpoints, give examples, and express personal opinions clearly. This part tests your ability to discuss broader issues and maintain natural, fluent conversation.
