If you are in the UK on a visa, then eventually you will need to ask for that visa to be extended. If you are asking for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) or are taking the final step and naturalizing (Welcome!) then one part of your application is to pass a SELT (Secure English Language Test), and for ILR and naturalization, a popular test to take is the Trinity GESE B1 test.
Trinity B1 exam is a conversation test, so there is no reading or writing, and it is only 10 minutes long. Your 10 minutes with the examiner will be 5 minutes talking on a topic of your choosing, then 5 minutes talking about 2 topics that the examiner chooses.
In the first stage, before you go for Trinity B1 exam, you need to prepare a topic sheet. You can pick any topic. Many people choose to pick a hobby or to talk about their family, hometown, or where they live now. But it is up to you. You will also have to think of 5 sub-topics that are part of the main topic you pick.
In the second stage, you have 5 minutes to discuss 2 topics that the examiner picks. There is nothing for you to do here, just discuss them with the examiner! The 6 topics the examiner can pick from are festivals, means of transport, special occasions (such as birthdays), entertainment, music, or recent personal experiences.
