Topic overview
Speaking tests sustained, clear and natural spontaneous expression. A high-quality answer responds directly, develops reasons or examples, and can naturally correct itself when needed, rather than reciting an answer only tangentially related to the question.
Key concepts
Answer directly first, then explain the reason, comparison or consequence, and finally ground it with a brief example. Part 3 requires rising from personal experience to general analysis.
Key points
- ◆Maintain a comprehensible pace
- ◆Natural self-correction is allowed
- ◆Do not sacrifice accuracy for the sake of uncommon words
Worked examples
Try each example yourself before checking the explanation.
