Q & A

Why is it important to practice speaking regularly in English?

-Skill number 2 is about organizing and discussing a topic effectively. The test requires the candidate to respond to a topic with a set of questions, using clear structure and logical flow.
What advice is given for handling a topic that the candidate has no experience with?
-If the candidate has no experience with a particular topic, they are advised to create a fictional or imagined scenario based on their knowledge, and still attempt to answer all questions related to the topic.
What is the recommended strategy for preparing for the speaking section of the test?
-The recommended strategy is to practice speaking as much as possible, making notes about the topic, answering all questions in a clear and structured way, and recording your responses to review and improve.
How can candidates practice speaking about a museum they’ve never visited?
