ANSWERING THE 1ST INDEPENDENT QUESTION

Previously, I share a blog about my tips to organize your note BEFORE the test.

Now, you are seating at your test center, waiting for the first question of the speaking section.

How to ANSWER question 1?

First, at all.  You have to be calm and remember that you have practiced this question hundreds of times but now it's the real thing. Don't be nervous so your speech doesn't suffer but think that this might be the day you are going to get 26 on this section.

Let's go back to the independent question, How to answer the first question?

As I said before, you already prepared your paper before the test so now you just to fill out the blank space with your opinion.

For Example:

1- ( I believe / think) _____________________________________

2- Because ( this is your transition to your reasons and it's telling the grader you are going to provide reasons for your response)

3- (here goest the1st reason, you actually say your reason . No need to say "my first reason" you are going to waste your time doing that)___________________________________________

4-  Example ( detail example) _____________________________________________________________________

5- Also ( transition between your first and second reason)

6 - (here goes your 2nd reason)________________________________________________

7- (Your 2nd DETAIL example)_______________________________________________

This is how your paper should look before you listen to the first question.

You don't have too much time, so you probably are going to write down between 4 to 6 abbreviations to help you answer this question.

Example:
