You get a card with a question and three talking points, and you speak on your own for about two minutes. The points are there to help: you can use some of them, all of them or none.
Afterwards, your partner answers a related question, and then you both discuss the topic with the examiner. The long turn is your chance to show you can organise an argument and sustain it.
There's very little time to prepare, so decide your overall answer to the question straight away and choose two or three points to develop. That's your plan: a position and a route through it.
Give your talk a shape the listener can follow: an opening that frames the question, two or three developed points, and a conclusion that pulls them together. Signposts like turning to and all things considered make the structure audible.
A sentence on each talking point sounds like a list. It's far better to develop fewer points properly, with explanation, examples, implications and a counter-argument that you then answer.
The talking points are optional. If you have a stronger or more personal angle, use it. Examiners reward relevance and depth, and your own examples often bring out your most natural, precise language.
Two minutes is longer than it sounds. Don't rush the opening, keep the balance between your points, and leave a few seconds to conclude rather than being cut off mid-idea.
When your partner answers their question, listen. The discussion that follows builds on both turns, and you'll be expected to respond to their ideas as well as extend your own.
