Trinity GESE Grade 3 (A2): subjects and questions

The 7 Grade 3 vocabulary areas

Trinity's specification does not give a list of conversation subjects for Grade 3. It lists vocabulary areas instead, and the examiner builds the chat from them. We use those areas as our subjects. Source: Trinity specifications. Each page below has 10 original practice questions, 3 short sample answers, useful words and common mistakes.

• Jobs: The examiner may ask about your job, a job you did before or the work of people you know.
• Places in the local area: This subject covers shops, the station, the park and how to get there.
• Place of study: Place of study means your school, college or English class.
• Home life: Home life is about your day in and around the house.
• Weather: Weather talk is common in the UK, so be ready for it.
• Free time: The examiner may ask what you do after work, at the weekend and what you can and cannot do.
• Times and dates: Trinity lists times, dates and ordinal numbers up to 31st for Grade 3.

How to use these pages

1. Read the page for one subject.
2. Cover the sample answers and say your own answer to each question out loud.
