Some days ago I had the first lesson with a new student; it was a preparation for SELCAL(ICAO Aviation English exam in Aeroflot and S7 in Russia)
A peculiarity of SELCAL is that there is a list of questions for the exam.But! It doesn't mean that if you write 3-4 sentences for each question, learn them by heart, you will pass it and will get your cherished 4th level. Alas no.
Firstly, 3 sentences are not enough.(Quite often students say to me: I don't know what else I can say here.)
Secondly, an examinator is sure to hear a rehearsed speech and will definitely interrupt you and will ask additional questions.(I usually do it at the exam.)
Thus,what am I driving at?-Don't try to learn 100 mini-answers for 100 questions of this exam. Try to give extended answers!
Let's consider one of the questions from SELCAL list.
Why is there a lot of emergency equipment on board?
In most cases students enumerate all emergency equipment.It is one sentence.And that's all.They are at a loss for ideas what to say further.
