USEFUL WORDS FOR SPECULATING - FCE/CAE Pt.2

USEFUL WORDS FOR SPECULATING - FCE/CAE Pt.2


    Hi everyone. So if you are preparing for the FCE/CAE part 2 or plan to, you really need to speculate when comparing the pictures (but never describe them). I'll attach a CAE task and will write some useful examples with the words I want you to use more in BOLD 😎 (I'll compare the first two pics)

    Q1 Why might the people be doing these things together?
    - It's QUITE PROBABLE that the explorers in the first picture are lost and are trying to ski their way back to civilization.
    - The children in the second picture are MOST LIKELY baking some tasty biscuits...
    - The explorers in the first picture COULD VERY WELL BE on their way to the North Pole to fulfill their lifetime ambitions.
    - The kids in the second picture DEFINITELY SEEM TO BE doing some arts and crafts together PROBABLY for a school project.
    - It's HIGHLY LIKELY that the guys in the first picture are running away from a polar bear since they APPEAR TO BE running away from something.
    - I'm RELATIVELY SURE the kids in the second picture are throwing some materials together for an art project OR SOMETHING.

    Q2 How might the people be feeling?
    - The explorers in the first picture MUST CERTAINLY BE relieved having managed to escape from a rabid polar bear.
    - The kids in the second picture SEEM TO HAVE burned their biscuits so they CAN'T POSSIBLY be happy at all.
    - The explorers in the first picture MIGHT BE feeling over the moon at having reached their final goal.
    - The kids in the second picture are MOST CERTAINLY rather pleased with themselves since they managed to bake Jamie Oliver biscuits for advanced chefs.
    - Although the explorers MAY WELL HAVE reached their destination. they CLEARLY SEEM TO BE disappointed since they went to the wrong pole.
    - The kids in the second picture REALLY OUGHT TO BE/SHOULD BE delighted with their achievements since I couldn't even come close to producing something like that!
