Tip 5
Speak clearly and at natural pace you should not be too fast and loud neither too slow. Always try to be natural as if you speak fast the examiner may think that you have memorized the answer. Don’t try to imitate the native speakers and speak in your own accent your marks will not be deducted until your pronunciation is wrong.
Tip 6
Always elaborate your answer and try to provide as much as detail you can. Don’t just answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’. For example if the examiner asks you “You like to travel?” instead of saying “yes” or “no” you can say I am an extrovert person and always like to explore things……..so on….
Tip 7
Listen the question carefully specially the tense and answer accordingly. If the question is in present tense than you answer should also be in present tense. For example, if the question is where do you work? It’s in present tense so your answer should be ‘I am working in…..’
Tip 8
Practice the pronunciation of numbers to avoid confusion . For example, many numbers can sound very similar when spoken, so be sure to say them clearly, e.g. ‘Thirty’ and ‘Thirteen’, ‘Forty’ and ‘Fourteen’, ‘Fifty’ and ‘Fifteen’ etc. There are lots of other words that sound the same, but mean something different. We call them homophones.
Tip 9
Use variety of vocabulary but make sure that you use only that words with which you are familiar and know its meaning and know how and where to use it.
Tip 10
In part 2, you will be provided with pencil and paper to prepare notes makes sure you use them to note your keywords. First take some time to think upon the topic than decide most appropriate tense to answer and get stick to the same tense for the whole answer.
With Best Wishes!
