Russian GCSE Speaking exam sample picture card. Future Aspirations, Study & Work

A 5-page resource aimed at teachers preparing students for the new GCSE specification (first certification from 2019) as well as students.

The file includes a student’s card (that imitates a card that a student will be given at the exam and based on which a discussion with the examiner will follow), a teacher’s card and sample answers to all the five questions.

Pages 3-5 provides possible answers aimed at achieving the highest grades. The answers can be used as a starting point for a discussion, to practise vocabulary (for example, do a word search) or certain grammar themes (e.g. find all examples of Genitive case in the text, find the verbs in the past tense, retell the text in the past tense or from the third person,etc). Teachers could encourage the students to discuss the sample answers, saying whether they share the same viewpoint.
It is impossible to predict the exact questions but we included the questions that cover a broad spectrum within the chosen theme (Furute aspirations, study and work).

We included grammatical constructions and vocabulary listed in Specification Pearson Edexcel GCSE Russian.
