Tips & Tricks

Apply quickly: 2–3 minutes per tip, one prompt per day to build steady improvement.

Warm-up before speaking

Talk for 30–60 seconds on a random topic, pause, then move to the target question. This lowers anxiety before Part 2.

Use a 1-2-3 structure

One-sentence opener, two clear points (reason + example), and a short closer. Short and complete under exam pressure.

Linking words keep your flow

Add 1–2 connectors every 2 sentences (firstly, for example, however, in my view) to improve fluency and coherence.

Upgrade wording by chunks

Add at least 3 natural chunks per response instead of isolated words: in particular, it depends on..., one thing I can say is...

Predict the next follow-up

In Part 3, skim the next question while answering the current one to reduce off-topic drift.

Repair after replay

Replay each attempt once and fix only 1–2 points (fillers, repetition, grammar), then re-record.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

FAQ stands for “Frequently Asked Questions” — common questions users usually ask before taking Speaking practice/tests.

What are the 4 scoring criteria?

Fluency & Coherence, Lexical Resource, Grammatical Range & Accuracy, Pronunciation.

Which part matters the most?

All parts are scored, so skip none. Part 1 sets your baseline, Part 2 tests sustained speaking, and Part 3 checks logical extension and language control under pressure.

Part 2 speed: fast or slow?

Keep a stable, natural pace with clear articulation. Too fast often hurts coherence and pronunciation, while too slow may reduce development.

When should I pause during a response?

If you pause to think, do it briefly with a connector like “Let me think” or “That reminds me of…”. A controlled pause is cleaner than repeated fillers.

Should I write notes during Part 2 prep?

Avoid long scripts. Keep a quick mental structure (intro + 2 points + example + closing), then focus on speaking from the structure.

How to improve grammar in spontaneous speaking?

Slow your pace slightly, reduce sentence complexity initially, and reuse safe sentence patterns until your ideas flow smoothly; accuracy improves before length does.
