How to practise this part

- 2
Start speaking straight away. The recording clock runs while you think.
- 3
Practise out loud, not in your head. Pronunciation and pace are part of the mark.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I speak to a real examiner?
- No. You record your answers and two trained assessors listen back later — so speaking to a screen is exactly the right practice.
- What if I get stuck mid-recording?
- Keep talking. A short finished sentence earns more than a long one you abandon. Silence earns nothing.
