Common Mistakes
Giving answers that are too brief can make it seem like you lack fluency or depth of knowledge. The examiner expects developed responses with explanations, examples, or personal opinions.
Overly extended answers can become unfocused, leading to repetition and a lack of coherence. It’s important to strike a balance by giving detailed but structured responses that directly address the question.
Speaking in a monotone or with unnatural pacing can make your speech sound rehearsed or lacking in confidence. Good pronunciation, natural intonation, and appropriate pauses make communication more engaging and effective.
Reciting pre-learned responses can be obvious to the examiner, as they may not directly fit the question asked. This can lower your score for spontaneity and fluency. It's better to develop flexible speaking skills that allow for natural and adaptable responses.
Using overly complex vocabulary or complicated sentence structures without accuracy can result in mistakes that lower clarity and coherence. It’s better to use a range of vocabulary and grammar naturally, ensuring correctness and confidence.
