Trinity A2 test practice 1: GESE Grade 3

Questions about your daily routine, dates and weather, what you can do, a picture of a park, places near you, and where you were yesterday.

How to use this test. The real exam is a 7-minute conversation with one examiner, so the questions will not be exactly these. Press a button to hear each question, answer out loud in your own words, then look at the example. Practise with a friend as the examiner if you can.
