Speaking part 3
Part 3 of the Speaking paper involves having a discussion about a particular topic between the two candidates. Each candidate should give his/her opinion about the situation and ask for the other candidate's point of view. If possible, candidates should agree on how to solve the problem at hand, but if they can't agree on the same option/s, there's no problem. They should show that they have decided to disagree.

As you watch the video, pay attention to how the interlocutor interacts with the candidates, and how the candidates manage the task they have to perform.
Think about how you would have carried out this part. Would you have done the same? What other things could you have said? etc.
