✅ What Happens?

The examiner introduces themselves and asks for your name and identification.
You’ll answer general questions about familiar topics like home, family, work, studies, hobbies, or daily life.
The questions are straightforward and designed to help you feel comfortable.

✅ How to Prepare?

Practice answering common personal questions fluently.
Give extended answers instead of one-word responses.
Use natural intonation and avoid memorized answers.

“Do you live in a house or an apartment?”
“What do you like to do in your free time?”
“Do you prefer mornings or evenings? Why?”

• You have 1 minute to prepare and take notes.
• You must speak for 1–2 minutes without interruption.
• The examiner may ask one or two follow-up questions after you finish.

✅ How to Prepare?

• Use the 1-minute preparation time to structure your response (e.g., past, present, future).
• Include examples and personal experiences to make your answer engaging.
• Use a variety of sentence structures and linking words.

🗣 Example Cue Card:
