- Understand what the examiner listens for under Fluency and Coherence, and why fluency is not the same as speed.
- Reduce long pauses by knowing why they happen and using rescue phrases to keep going.
- Use natural fillers and quick self-corrections, and avoid the repetition and restarts that break your flow.
- Link ideas with spoken discourse markers and organise longer answers so they are easy to follow.
- Practise with one-minute talks, linking drills and a self-review audit of your own recordings.
