Speaking Test #Tip

What if you don't understand the examiner?
You can ask him or her to repeat the question or explain a word, e.g.

[ Sorry, could you repeat the question, please? ] OR [ Could you explain what..... means? ]

If you still don't understand, let the examiner go on to the next question. You may get more confused if you ask for another repetition.

What if I'm not sure about the answer?
Remember that the speaking test is a language test NOT a test of your views or general knowledge. You can use expression that give you some time to think about how you will answer a question.

[I'm not sure what I think about.......Let me think.....I really don't know / can't remember.]
[It depend on....... I tend to think that...............On the whole, it seems that.....]
