Best video on how to approach this task I've ever seen. Well-structured, good pace, and excellent guide on how to compare and contrast photos. Thanks a lot!!
I'm sitting for my FCE exam on December 14th and I'm already getting prepared so as to be more confident at that moment. Thank you so much for such helpful videos. 🥺💖
I'm sitting the exam next December 11th and I'm trying to practise with the pictures you showed us 🥰. Thank you so much for this amazing and useful video 🥺.
thank you for this excellent video, notice that I have to take a FCE speaking test next Monday, and this is the most difficult part. However, the video gives me enough knowledge at the moment to compare photos, I have faith that I can do that.
Perfect lesson Thank you so much!!! I wonder if I would be able to remember everything on the exam, hahaha.....when I got nervous, everything disapears from my brain 😫😫😫
a really useful video for me or even everybody having trouble with this kind of exam. Thank you so much and hope that OOE will make more videos like this.
Thanks for the video! This year i'm taking the FCE and i have my first speaking practice today, and i'm nervous. I'd been practising and it's is hard for me to find the correct adjetive to use while speaking hehe. Greetings from Argentina.
hey man, I was wondering, is there a timer in the table while you are taking your exam? or do you just have to calculate your answer to make it fit whit the time?
I am a teacher and I am renewing my knowledge of FCE. Though I passed the exsm many years ago, I want to recall all the subtleties. Now I am preparing my students for the exsm, and your videos have been priceless. So structured and well-delivered!!!! Thank you!!!
i want to know if HOWEVER and ON THE OTHER HAND are exchangeable! if i can use these phrases in the ssme sentences...if not... please could u give me an example and what is the different please 😧
'However' and 'on the other hand' are almost always interchangeable. You wouldn't use them both in one sentence, because it would be redundant. Hope this helps!
This is a really great video, except for one little thing: the boy in 6:46 doesn't look like anything! :) saying somebody looks like he's enjoying himself when you can't see their face and their posture is neutral isn't even speculation, it's just nonsense. Just a passing observation.
10:51 The first picture shows the image of a professional artist, I guessed, because he is standing in the studio with a couple of brushes on his hand to create his masterpiece. Whereas, the man in the second picture is painting outside. He gets in touch with the nature by his bright picture, perhaps, painting is his hobby. Comparing between these pictures, I am slightly into the painting of the man in second picture. The main point is that, the more time I contemplate on his picture, the more relaxed I feel, maybe this comes from his style of blending colors. While, the first picture is well-made with the dedication of the artist. It's his job that he has to pursue, not a mean of entertaining himself.
Thanks for sharing, Ly! Here are some corrections for you: 1) 'I guess,' not, 'I guessed'. 2) '...brushes in his hand,' not, 'on'. 3) 'He is getting in touch with nature...' not, 'He gets in touch with the nature...'. Hope this is useful for you!
I have my speaking exam this Saturday. I am really scared. I know I would fail 😢😭. I just can't say a lot of things when I have to compare two photos. I just say 2 words. It's really hard for me😭😭. When I compare two photos for example : "Both photos show people painting. In the first one It shows a man who I think is painting for his job, whereas In the second one, the man, I think, is painting for hobby. Another similarity is that the photos are taken during the day. The difference is that the first photo might be taken in a studio or something like that, but the other one is obviously taken outside in nature. -My teacher says that I need to speak for one minute but I speak fast and it lasts for about 20-30 seconds. Sometimes when I get too nervous I forget everything and don't speak really clearly and I am really scared I will do the same thing on the speaking exam. I really hope my exam will go well and your advices are really helpful❤
Hi Laura, you will do fine! The most important part, aside from your English skills, is your mindset! Try to relax and not worry about what could go wrong. Instead, focus on what you know and doing the best you can in each moment of the exam. Don't allow your mind to race. It will not be as bad as you think. Let us know how it goes!
@@Oxfordonlineenglish1 Thank you for your advice❤. It went well apart from my friend, that ditched me when we had to do the speaking toghether because he found another friend. I got so nervous 😣 but luckily my teacher puted me with another guy and he was more nice 🤗 than the first.
Taking the test tomorrow! I was told to compare and contrast for 2 min, and I have been training like that the whole year. I hope I remember not to describe the pictures.

Just a passing observation.
🤣
directly => [dɪˈrektlɪ] not [daɪ'rektlɪ] . Could you explain the pronunciation of this word?
Hi Lilly. Both types of pronunciation are correct. It depends on the speaker.
Thank you!!❤
