- Listen to native speakers: Listen to English speakers on TV, radio, podcasts or in person to help improve your pronunciation, vocabulary, and understanding of idiomatic expressions.
- Learn and use idiomatic expressions: Using idiomatic expressions will make you sound more natural and fluent.
- Expand your vocabulary: Try to learn new words and phrases every day and practice using them in conversation.
- Pay attention to grammar: Make sure you understand and use the correct grammar structures when speaking.
- Be aware of your body language: Good body language, eye contact, and confident posture can make you appear more confident and engaging.
- Use a variety of sentence structures: Try to use a mix of simple and complex sentences to show your range of language ability.
- Time yourself when practicing: Keep to the strict time limit when practicing the speaking test so you can learn to manage your time effectively during the actual test.
