In the Leaving Cert oral exam every student is given one of five role plays to complete. The student has to play the part of a young person in Spain, in a variety of situations, at a first aid post on a beach, on a boat, in a hotel etc. The examiner plays the part of the Spanish person talking to the student.
The best way to prepare for the role plays is to break each section down to individual expressions, and to learn the expressions. For example, in the first role play, you are on a beach in Santander, and step on a piece of broken glass. You go to the first aid hut and say to the attendant there...
"Say you are sorry to bother him/her but you have cut your foot.
Say it is bleeding a lot but you do not think it’s serious but it hurts badly."
Instead of having to learn the whole first part together, it is easier to take it expression by expression..
Sorry to bother you - siento molestarte
I have cut my foot - me he cortado el pie
It is bleeding a lot - está sangrando mucho
It hurts badly - me duele mucho
The whole of role play 1 is done like this, and can be found here. Check out the video above....
