I'd be really glad to share my speaking topics with you, but my speaking exam is after the written part. So, sorry for that. But a friend of mine already went on speaking and the main topic for the part 2 was "tell about a situation when you've been waiting for soneone". Hope it helps somehow!

Good luck there.
My exam will start in 2h

HI All,

So, it seems that no one wanted to post his topics.
I thought, even if it's late, maybe we can share our topics here, just to see, if they follow the same themes in each county.
So I will be first

1. Writing:
Task: 1 Describe consumption of goods by households in UK between 1998 and 2008.
Task 2: Today, the life expectancy is much higher, but it causes people to be workforce for longer (something like this)

Reading:
1. First passage: The text about the mirrors and their use for medical purposes (psychology and human/animal behavior)
2. Second: Species and their habitats (something like this)
3. I do not remember exactly, but something about the psychological panic attacks in a crowded, places and people's behavior in such situations

Hope this will help
In any case, I will take the additional exam in June, sine I did not have time to rewrite the task to to the answer sheet and I need to enlarge my vocabulary with more synonyms.
But this was a great practice.

What about you guys?
