Speaking Part 1

Give a direct answer, then add a reason or example. Aim for three or four sentences, not a speech.

Lesson

  • Answer the question in the first sentence so the examiner is not waiting.
  • Add because, for example, or a short comparison. Then stop. Part 1 rewards control, not length.
  • If you do not do the activity (“Do you cook?”), say so and talk about what you do instead.
  • Use natural contractions. This is a conversation, not Writing Task 2.
