Sample dialogues for OET speaking

28/12/2013

    Many students email me for help with the OET speaking test. Whilst it is not recommended that you simply copy a dialogue or learn it by heart, it does help to listen to a sample dialogue to get an idea of what you are being asked to do. The role play card will guide you as to what you are trying to communicate. There will usually be 3 or 4 tasks for you to do. Of course, you don't have the advantage of reading the 'patient's' card so you need to guess what they might say.


This role play is about bed wetting. The mother (or father) of a young boy (4 years old) has come to see you in a clinic setting. So, you may guess that:
1. she (or he) will be worried that there might be something wrong with the child - they need reassurance.
2. they may not know much about the condition - you need to explain it.
3. they may not know how to manage the condition - you need to give advice.

Make sure you know the expressions you need to use for these communication functions.

Before you practise the dialogue, make sure you predict some of the terms you may hear or need to use yourself. You should check that you know terms which relate to the urinary system, for example. 

There is a pdf available on this site with some activities relating to the video as well as a transcript. Otherwise, watch the video and try to identify the way the nurse conducts the conversation. Would you have done it this way or a different way?
