FCE speaking test: Let's talk! Non-native speakers (English, B2) are wanted! :))) As you know, during the speaking test of FCE exam you are supposed to talk to a complete stranger (which is obviosly not an English native speaker) and this conversation will be assessed. But nobody knows if their future exam partner has a good pronunciation or an appropriate level in English. And, of course, your shyness may make everything even more difficult. 

So, and what can we do? PRACTISE through Skype in pairs! For the first part we can ask each other random questions on common topics, in parts 2 and 3 - discuss pictures and promts, and in part 4 - ask each other some questions related to part 3. We can use a timer to get used to the exam format.

I have a lot of awesome books and other materials on EACH part of FCE speaking test, which can help us to pass through it and I don't mind sharing them ;) Just write here if you want to participate.
