Students often feel very nervous about taking a Speaking test. They worry about many things:
• Not being able to understand what they have to do.
• Not being able to remember what they have to do.
• Running out of things to say.
• Being asked to talk about something they know nothing about.
• Not being able to find the words they need to express themselves.
• Being interrupted by the examiner.
However, many students seem to enjoy the test once it has begun, they forget they are in an examination, and some even look surprised when it is over.
