Avoid translating sentences in your mind. Thinking in English helps you speak faster and more naturally.
Words like actually, basically, honestly, however, moreover, for example make your answers smooth and connected.
If you’re unsure, use phrases like:
“I haven’t thought about this before, but I believe…”
This keeps your fluency strong.
Examiners want to hear your thoughts, not general statements.
For example:
“In my opinion…”
“I personally feel that…”
Even for simple questions, add details, reasons, and experiences.
Don’t stop after one sentence—aim for 3–4 sentences.
Instead of repeating the same word, use synonyms:
This boosts your vocabulary score.
Use a 1–2 minute timer and talk without pausing.
This builds automatic fluency.
10–15 minutes daily speaking is better than 2 hours once a week.
Consistency gives the best results.
Examiners love practical answers.
Examples make your speaking more natural and detailed.
You don’t need a British or American accent, just clarity.
Focus on:
A confident body language boosts your delivery and fluency.
Reading aloud improves pronunciation, confidence, and speaking rhythm.
Practice real questions from past tests to build strong answering patterns.
