Question

【題目】 Most English learners are fearful of exams, especially speaking exams. This text will give you lots of tips and advice, and you can do as well as possible in any speaking test. Remember that everyone gets nervous in exams. So, don't worry. Our tips will help you feel more confident in a speaking exam.

Listening to as much English as possible will help to improve your speaking. Listening to songs, films, TV series will help you feel more confident about speaking.

Speak as much English in class as possible. If you usually speak English in class, you will find it easier to speak in an exam.

Slow down! It's not a race. Before you speak, think carefully about what to say and speak a little slower than normal.

Use language that is correct. Use words and expressions you have used before. If you don't know a word, think of another way to say it. For example, if you know the word “expensive”, but can't remember the word “cheap”, you could say: It's not expensive.

If you don't understand the question or the activity, ask the examiner. Say “Could you repeat that, please?”

Always say something. Don't just say “yes” or “no”. Explain your answer with a reason. Say “Yes, I agree because...”

If you can choose the question or topic, choose one you know something about. It's easier to talk about something you know.

Finally, remember that the examiners are normal human beings, not aliens!
