- Shape chunks with one main stress each, and use rising and falling intonation for lists, questions and unfinished ideas
- Link words smoothly and pronounce -ed and -s endings so the examiner can hear your grammar
- Identify your own two or three problem sounds and work on them with a 15-minute recording routine
