    Part 1 of the PET Speaking exam lasts about 2-3 minutes. During Part 1 the examiner will ask
    you some easy questions to find out more about you such as about your studies, where you
    live or what hobbies or interests you have. 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.

    Get Ready!
    In the example questions below you will need to use present and past tenses when you
    answer the questions.

    study, learn, full-time, part-time, self-study, evening classes, private lessons, 
    hobbies, relax, go shopping, play tennis/football ...

    Sample PET Speaking Part 1 questions

    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.

    how well you you can discuss things with your partner.
