Simple Speaking Formula

Use a flexible structure instead of memorized sentences.

  • ✓Answer: give your advice, opinion, choice, or description.
  • ✓Reason: explain why your answer makes sense.
  • ✓Detail: add an example, consequence, or comparison.
  • ✓Close: finish naturally without repeating everything.

Practice Method

Record every answer. Then listen once for task completion, once for fluency, and once for pronunciation. Pick one issue to improve on the next attempt.
