15 Common TCF Canada Speaking Task 1 Questions & Answers

Task 1 of the TCF Canada Expression Orale (Speaking) is a 2-minute introductory interview. You do not have any preparation time.

While this task does not require complex debate skills (that's Task 3), it sets the tone for your entire exam. If you stumble, hesitate, or use basic A1 vocabulary here, the examiner will immediately anchor your score in the CLB 5 range.
