Tip from Buddy:
Good question! The examiner pays attention to four things: pronunciation, vocabulary, sentence structure and coherence.
💡 Step 1: Practise speaking out loud for 10 minutes every day.
Step 2: Learn fixed phrases such as "I agree that...".
Remember: in the speaking exam it's more important to keep talking than to answer perfectly. Well done! 🎉
