Use a range of
questions that allows a range of tenses and grammar structures, fulfilling your
targets of A/A* in the criteria table. Subjunctive is not essential, you can get A/A* without it, but you need sentences with two different tenses (Cuando era pequeño, fui a ver Toy Story al cine con mi familia. Me encantó)
Questions should link
together a strong narrative, a coherent and original conversation.
Check that your set
of questions is within the time limit (between 5.30 and no more than 6
minutes). Time management.
Fluency - pronunciation, no hesitation, ´muletillas´ are very important. Make sure you don´t string a series of monologs. It is a conversation, keep your answers limited to one line, two maximum, chunk up what you want to say.
Spontaneity - you need to answer the questions, not repeat a memorised sentence. Try to sound natural, ask questions, interrupt, make it feel like a real conversation.
