READING EXAM TIPS
Tips and Advice on reading exams by the British Council
READING FOR PLEASURE
Intercultural Approach
Speaking in Silver and From lost to the River
ebook: The Xenophobe's Guide to the Spanish by Drew Launey
What you don't have to do in an oral exam. Do not use literal expressions from one language into another. They are fun but not English language.
For some examples on this, you can read on or during summer holidays 2 books by F. Lopez Socasau and Ochoa Speaking in Silver and From lost to the River. Not advisable before an oral exam.
Read some examples of these expressions below:

If you want to know how British people see themselves, you should read `How to be an alien' by George Mikes. It is available in our classroom library for pre-intermediate students or you can read it on http://f2.org/humour/howalien.html as well. You'll find out that talking about the weather is their favourite topic, they love tea, queuing, and so on.
