Speaking Test: Action Plan

• Respond briefly to the introductory questions.
• Make sure you can talk about your home town and your studies or work.
• Build some lists of phrase and topic banks.
• Listen to the question forms and the words that examiner uses. These will help you form your answer. Try to give a full answer. The examiner wants to hear you speak, so remember: it is important to talk.
• Don't memorize long answers. You will lose marks for this.
• Answer each question directly. Don't talk about something unrelated to the examiner's question.
