Learn strategies for this section here.

The examiner:

Here are some things that annoy a lot of people and a question for you to discuss. First you have some time to look at the task. [15 seconds]

Now, talk to each other about why these different things might annoy people. 

The examiner:

Thank you. Now you have about a minute to decide which of these things would have the greatest effect on people's lives. 

C1 Advanced Speaking Part 4 - Practice

For part 4, you will need to talk about topics from part 3 in more detail with your partner.

Either you or your partner will be asked a question. Respond to the question and give your opinion. Then ask your partner what they think. You don’t have to do this last step - if you don’t, the examiner will do it, but it’s better to be proactive and simply ask them yourself. 

Then, discuss the question with the other candidate(s) until you either run out of things to say, or out of time. The examiner will ask more questions as needed.

You should respond to your partner's answers, and you should ask for their opinions about your answers.
