Eek! What can you do if …
… you are in the middle of the Speaking Test and the Examiner asks you a question, but you don’t quite understand?
Well, you can panic; you can answer what you think the question might have been; or …
you can ask the examiner to repeat the question or explain a word to you.
The examiner will probably help you a little. But you can only get away with this once or twice.
