Here's a list of the good vocabulary from Friday's speaking lesson:
- working in a previous job
- catch an early flight
- a senior member of our department
- had volunteered to
- waiting to be picked up
- look out for his car
- I overslept
- I had set my alarm
- I must have turned it off
- I sprang out of bed
- got dressed in record time
- I splashed some water on my face
- put my shoes on without properly tying the laces
- I was filled with a sense of panic
- walked towards the awaiting car
- I felt so embarrassed
- it was obvious that I hadn’t been ready on time
Note:
These words and phrases might not seem 'difficult' or 'academic'. However, examiners don't often meet candidates who use this kind of natural, native-speaker language.
In particular, phrases like "I sprang out of bed", "I got dressed in record time" and "I splashed some water on my face" would certainly surprise an examiner.
