In Task 1 of the oral Matura, you must interact with the examiner in a simulated roleplay based on key points. Here is a realistic practice prompt.
The face-to-face oral exam takes about 15 minutes. There is no separate preparation time; candidates must respond spontaneously to the examiner's prompts across three distinct tasks.
You interact with the examiner in a simulated everyday scenario. You are given a card containing four bullet points that you must actively cover during the dialogue.
You must react naturally to the examiner's questions, lead the conversation, and ensure all points are resolved.
You are shown an illustration or photo (e.g. people in a park or working in an office). You must describe the photo, covering **who** is in it, **what** they are doing, and **where** they are.
Following your description, the examiner will ask you three standard follow-up questions to test your interpretive ability.
You are shown two or three visual options (e.g. posters for a charity campaign or locations for a trip). You must choose the best option and explain **why** you chose it.
You must also explain **why** you rejected the other options. The examiner will then ask you two follow-up questions about the theme.
