Main Content
Key Point 1: Talk About Yourself
For the first 60 seconds, look in the mirror and talk about yourself. This helps you start with something familiar and comfortable. Speaking about yourself builds confidence and makes you more comfortable with English.
Key Point 2: Take a 30-Second Pause
After speaking, pause for 30 seconds. This break allows your brain to relax and process what you’ve just practiced. It’s essential to give yourself a moment to regroup.
Key Point 3: Talk About a Friend
Next, look in the mirror again and talk for 60 seconds about a friend. This step pushes you slightly out of your comfort zone while still discussing something familiar. It helps you practice speaking about other people.
Key Point 4: Another 30-Second Pause
Pause again for 30 seconds. These short breaks are crucial for maintaining focus and reducing stress.
Key Point 5: Describe Something in Your Room
For the next 60 seconds, talk about an object in your room. This step encourages spontaneous thinking and helps you describe things in real-time, which is vital for fluency.
Key Point 6: Take a 30-Second Pause
Pause for another 30 seconds to collect your thoughts and prepare for the next speaking task.
Key Point 7: Talk About Something You Ate
Now, speak for 90 seconds about something you ate. This task requires you to describe experiences and details about something not immediately in front of you, enhancing your descriptive skills.

Take another 30-second break. These pauses help you stay focused and reduce the cognitive load.

Take another 30-second break. These pauses are essential for maintaining focus and reducing stress.
Key Point 13: Describe Something You Are Wearing

Key Point 14: Take a 30-Second Pause
Pause for another 30 seconds. These breaks help you stay focused and reduce the cognitive load.
