You do not have to give long answers to these questions. However, you should try to say more than short one or two word answers. Try a Part 1 practice test below.

Study Tip!

Your answers to the Part 1 questions do not have to be very long but it will help the examiner assess your English if you say more than just one or two words. Be careful of questions that start 'Do you ...', 'Are you ...', 'Have you ...' as these can easily be answered with a simple 'Yes' or a 'No'.

Work with a partner.. Ask each other 'Yes' 'No questions and practise extending your answer a little with a reason, or an example. Like this:

Q: Do you like studying English?
A: Yes ... it's very exciting learning how to speak in another language.
