In speaking session, you will be scored on how well you are able to
communicate in English. To get the exact data on it, you will be
involved in three parts given to test it.
In part one, you will get some basic questions The questions can be as follow.
- Please describe yourself
- Please describe your family
- Please describe your home
- Please describe some of your interests
- Please describe your job
- Please describe your studies
These
questions might be relatively easy for you but still, you need to
prepare it well. Make sure that you have enough practice on it. Pay
attention as well on the timing. You need to check whether you are able
to talk approximately one minute to execute the answer.
In the
second part, you will be given a verbal prompt on a card and asked to
speak about a particular topic as it is listed on the card. You get one
minute to prepare before starting to speak. You will get time for about
one until two minutes to speak. Then, the examiner will ask you one or
two follow up questions.
In the last part of this section, you and
the examiner will engage in a discussion about concepts which are more
abstract. The issue that is given in this part still has a connection
with the discussed material in the previous part. This discussion will
last for about four up to five minutes.
In this part, you need to
take more exercise to get a perfect answer. Whenever you try to use your
personal experience as a story for giving the illustration for example,
make sure that the story is alive and colorful. It will be very
positive when the examiner feel like taking part on the sidelines and
watches the situation directly. So, selection of the best example will
be needed to do. For sure, you need to keep up a good time management
while doing it.
