Questions de pratique pour le test oral d'anglais

Comment vous exercer avec ces questions

• Répondez à voix haute, sans rédiger votre réponse d'avance : au test, les notes préparées sont interdites.
• Visez de 1 à 2 minutes par réponse aux niveaux B et C : une idée principale, un exemple concret, puis une conclusion.
• Enregistrez-vous et réécoutez-vous. Notez les mots qui vous manquent, vos temps de verbe et vos hésitations.
• Vous n'occupez pas d'emploi? Répondez à partir de vos études ou de vos activités bénévoles : au test aussi, les questions peuvent porter sur elles.

Niveau A : votre travail au quotidien

Des questions simples sur des sujets familiers, comme au début du test. Répondez par des phrases complètes, avec un exemple.

1. What did you study, and how does it help you in your work today?
2. Which tasks do you do on your own, and which ones do you do as a team?
3. When you need help with a task, who do you ask, and how?
4. How do you keep up with news in your organization: emails, the intranet, meetings?
5. In what situations do you use English at work?
6. Which skills do you use most in your work? Give an example.

Niveau B : raconter, expliquer, comparer

Racontez un événement passé, expliquez une marche à suivre ou comparez deux situations. Soignez vos temps de verbe et l'ordre des étapes.

7. Tell me about a task you did for the first time recently. How did you learn to do it?
8. Explain how you prepare your files before you go on leave, so the work can continue without you.
9. Explain how you protect confidential information in your work: documents, emails and conversations.
10. Tell me about a time you had to change your plans at work at the last minute. What happened, and what did you do?
11. Tell me about a misunderstanding at work, such as a message that was misread. How was it resolved?
12. Tell me about a time you worked with another team or organization. How did you share the work?
13. Tell me about a time you had to ask for more time or resources. How did you make your case, and what was the answer?
14. Compare your current job with a previous job or with your studies. What has changed in the way you work?
15. Tell me about a time you had to explain your work to someone outside your field. How did you go about it?

Niveau C : opinions et hypothèses

Donnez votre opinion et défendez-la, nuancez-la, et répondez à des situations hypothétiques. Au niveau C, on traite de sujets abstraits ou complexes, en profondeur et avec aisance.

16. If you became your team's manager tomorrow, what would you change first, and why?
17. Some say a person's performance should be judged on results; others, on effort and the way they work. What do you think?
18. Suppose your manager asks you to finish a file very quickly, but you think it needs more checks. What would you do, and why?
19. Some employers are trying a four-day work week. Could it work in your field? What would it change?
20. Is a team better off with specialists in one field or with generalists who can move from file to file? Defend your view.
