- Long, unscripted answers that never lose the threadSpeak at length in Parts 2 and 3 without drifting: answer first, develop, turn, come back to the question, signpost the way a speaker does and repair slips quickly.
- Precise words, and idioms only where they fitChoose the exact word, not the rarest one: sharpen vague phrases, use natural word partners, hear the attitude in near-synonyms, paraphrase the question, and use an idiom only when it fits.
- Nuanced opinions: hedge, qualify and concedeGive opinions that sound considered, not absolute: soften a claim, limit what it covers, grant the other side a point, come back, and still finish with a clear view of your own.
- Expert pronunciation: rhythm, linking and attitudeBe easy to follow at length: stress the words that matter, weaken the small ones, move stress across word families, speak in thought groups, link words, and use stress and tone to show what you think.
- Any topic, no freezing: abstract and unfamiliar questionsKeep speaking well when a Part 3 question is abstract or new to you: think aloud instead of freezing, buy a moment once, make it concrete, use a few reliable angles and speculate with confidence.
