Speaking

Since January 2026, Speaking is 11 short tasks with zero prep time: Listen and Repeat, then Take an Interview.

Question Types

Listen and Repeat

7 prompts · no prep · seconds to respond

Repeat the sentence you hear exactly, word for word — don't paraphrase. Watch for small function words (a, the, has) that are easy to drop under pressure.

Take an Interview

4 questions · no prep · ~45s response

Answer the personal, everyday question directly in your first sentence, then add one specific example — don't open with a memorized frame.

Key Strategies

1.There's no prep time on either task — respond the instant the prompt ends.
2.Listen and Repeat: prioritize exact wording over sounding natural — precision is what's scored.
3.Take an Interview: answer the actual question first, then elaborate with a concrete personal detail.
4.Speak at a natural pace — not too slow, not too fast.
5.If you make a mistake, correct yourself and keep going — don't stop or start over.
