Part 1

Keep it simple; there's no need to show off in this part. Give a short, direct answer and a reason for your answer. Then stop. If necessary, smile at the examiner to show that you are ready for the next question; if you keep speaking, the examiner will interrupt you. Answer using full sentences, and try not to hesitate; just say the first thing that comes into your head.

Part 1就记住，简单回答就可以了。给出一个直截了当的回答并加以解释，然后停顿。如果有必要就跟考官微笑，示意你已经准备好进入下个问题;如果你一直讲下去，考官会打断你的。回答的时候用上完整的句子，不要犹豫，想到什么说什么就可以了。

Part 2

Before the exam, prepare ideas for the six main topics.

1. Describe an object (a gift, something you use etc.)

2. Describe a person (someone you admire, a family member etc.)

3. Describe an event (a festival, celebration etc.)

4. Describe an activity (e.g. a hobby)

5. Describe a place (somewhere you visited, a holiday etc.)

6. Describe your favourite (book/film/advertisement/website)

Focus on vocabulary, not grammar or linking. In the exam, try to note down as many ideas as you can during the 1-minute preparation time - hopefully you'll be able to use ideas that you have already prepared. You don't have to cover all of the points on the task card, but it helps you to structure your answer if you do. Say as much as you can for each point, and use a real example or story at the end of your description if you need to fill time. Keep going until the examiner stops you.

Part 2部分的话，在考试之前，你要准备6大主要话题：描述物体，人物，事件，活动，地方，最喜欢的东西。关注在词汇上，而不是语法。在考试的时候，一定要在1分钟的准备时间内尽可能多地记下你准备要说的内容，不见得笔记上的所有点都会说到，但笔记有助于让你的回答更有条理。每个点都尽量展开去说，如果时间填不满就在最后举个实际的例子。只要考官没有打断你就一直说下去。

Part 3

Practise "3-step" answers: 1) answer the question 2) explain your answer 3) give an example. There's also a 4th step that you can sometimes use. By following these steps, you ensure that your answer "moves forward" instead of becoming repetitive - most people repeat the same ideas when they try to give a long answer, and the steps will help you to avoid this.

Part 3部分建议用3步回答法：1. 回答问题;2. 解释你的回答;3. 举例子。也可以4步法，就是在3步的基础上再确保你的话题在往下进行而不是在重复。大多数同学都在重复他们的观点，记住这几步会帮你避免重复。
