Remember to say:

·      why it is useful to study foreign languages at school;

·      how many languages you would like to speak; what they would be;

·      what you do to improve your English.

You have to talk for 1.5–2 minutes. The examiner will listen until you have finished. Then he/she will ask you some questions.
