SPEAKING
- Listen to as much English as possible.
- Speak as much English in class as possible.
- Slow down! It’s not a race. Before you speak, think carefully about what to say and speak a little slower than normal.
- Use language you know is correct. Use words and expressions you have used before.
- If you don’t know a word, think of another way to say it. For example, if you know the word ‘expensive’, but can’t remember the word ‘cheap’, you could say:
It’s not expensive.
It’s a good price.
It’s not a lot of money. - Listen to yourself while you speak and if you hear a mistake, correct it. Native speakers make mistakes and correct them all the time.
- Look at the examiner’s or other student’s face and eyes when you speak. Do they understand you? If not, say it again with different words.
- If you don’t understand the question or the activity, ask the examiner. Say: ‘Could you repeat that, please?’
- Always say something. Don’t just say ‘yes’ or ‘no’. Explain your answer with a reason. Say ‘Yes, I agree because....’
- Remember that everyone feels nervous in exams. So, take some deep breaths before the exam and try to relax.
