Speaking sample task – Part 3 transcript
Part 3 – Two-way discussion
Transcript
Examiner: We’ve been talking about things we own. I’d like to discuss with you one or two
more general questions relating to this topic. First, let’s consider values and the
way they can change. In Switzerland, what kind of possessions do you think give
status to people?
Candidate: The first thing which comes in my mind is the car. Yes, because lots of people
like to have posh cars or expensive cars to show their status, their place in the
society.
Examiner: Is that a new development?
Candidate: No, I think it isn’t.
Examiner: People have thought like that for quite a long time?
Candidate: Yes. Another thing is probably the clothing. It starts already when you are young.
When the children go to school they want to have posh labels on their jumpers or
good shoes.
Examiner: What do you think of this way of thinking, that I need to have a car or certain
clothes to show my status?
Candidate: Probably it’s sometimes a replacement for something you don’t have, so if your
wife has left you or your girlfriend, you just buy some new, I don’t know, new
watches or new clothes to make you satisfied again.
Examiner: You don’t think of it as a healthy way of thinking?
Candidate: It’s probably not honest to yourself. You can understand what I mean?
Examiner: Yes. And do you think this will change? In the future, will cars and designer
clothes be status symbols in the same way?
Candidate: I’m sure that clothes will be ... that the thing with the clothes will be the same. I’m
not so sure about the cars because cars cause lots of environmental problems
and probably in some years, a few years, this will change because it’s not
reasonable to drive a car anymore.
Examiner: Can you tell me a little bit more about that? ...

yourself, OK?

Zurich or are orientated to the city.

Candidate: On the top of a hill we have a little castle which is very old and quite well
known in Switzerland.

Candidate: We have some farmers in the village as well as people who work in
Zurich as bankers or journalists or there are also teachers and some
doctors, some medicines.
