OK.
So let's go over some really important tips and not just give you a few little like example responses
of really how you're supposed to do part number one.
Here are the basics already.
They're going to ask you some questions.
This is a easy section of an arc on all kinds of stuff.
Music plants colors where you live where you stay in the work or you study that kind of stuff.
He'll ask for about nine minutes.
You know here are some of the keys to a great score.
All right you want to make sure that you say your sentences smoothly from beginning to end.
That's really really important.
In addition to that definitely use your connectors and discourse markers using your connectors in your
discourse markers is extremely helpful.
All right.
That does it.
See this is the big problem with a lot of students is they don't they don't know what it takes to get
a good grade.
They think well I just didn't answer the question.
That's all
I just need to say a response and just get a response out and move on to the next question and try to
hurry up as fast as possible.
That's not what you're supposed to do.
OK.
That's not what you're supposed to do.
Paraphrase the question don't answer.
Using the exact same words used a variety of sentences and match a verb tense to the question.
Use specific vocabulary to the question.
OK use subject specific vocabulary.
Answer the question directly and then extend or explain your answer with more detail.
You understand.
Answer the question directly with with synonym which and then extend or explain your answer with more
detail.
Another think that another thing is very helpful.
Read through all these part one questions that I have here in this document here because if you read
through all these part one questions you'll have and you practice answering them the way I'm telling
you by answering and extending your answer.
You're going to become very very comfortable when you take the real exam.
Being able to answer these questions the right kind of way.
This right here is a little bit of answer strategy like in terms of how to answer.
Basically talking about what I what I said in terms of answering and extending your answer.
So if you need to pause the tape and you kind of you can kind of read through that can get a good idea
of it.
Right so this is what I mean in terms I'm going to give you a few examples of like how to answer questions
right.
So if they ask you a question like what's your full name.
Right you don't want to say stuff like my full name is.
What's the full name.
My full name is.
That's what I mean by repeating the question.
OK that's what I mean by repeating the question.
Answer the question directly and then go ahead and extend that answer right.
So for example what is your full name.
My parents name me John Williams when I was born and they chose the name John because it was the name
of my great grandfather who was a very famous man in the engineering field right.
You see all that was much better than my name is and I answered it directly.
OK you don't have to repeat the question.
All right.
You don't have to repeat the question.
Try your best to answer directly as much as you can as much as you can tell me about the country you're
from.
You don't.
Don't.
Don't say I am from China.
Tell me about the country you're from.
I'm from China.
Can you stop right there.
That's a bad answer.
OK.
That's not the kind of answer that's going to get you a very high score.
Right.
So when they say Tell me about the country you're from this is how you give a a this or you give a really
proper answer to them.
Tell me about the country you're from.
While there are many wonderful countries around the world.
I think my country Brazil is one of the best around.
As you may know Brazil is located in South America and it is has as neighbors who are Agwai and Columbia
and a few other countries.
All right.
So you see how I answer it.
And I extended my answer answer and extended my answer.
OK.
So that's how you're supposed to answer questions you answer and you extend the answer.
OK.
Tim tell me about your house right.
Tell me about your house.
So again answer an extended answer.
Tell me about your house.
Well currently I'm living with a host family in Denver Colorado.
And if I were to describe the house I would definitely have to say that it is a beautiful three story
brick house located on the east side of the city.
The house is very very well designed and it has everything that a person can need to really to really
study well here in Denver Colorado.
The house has five bedrooms a kitchen a living room a dining room and a basement that is well designed
with games and activities for everyone.
OK.
See that's the kind of answer that's going to be able to get you.
They really really give us a really really good score here.
Do you like to write e-mails don't say.
Yes I'd like to write e-mails.
That is her bad answer.
OK.
Answer be direct Be direct and then extend be direct and extend be direct and extend.
So if they say do you like do you like to do you like to write e-mails I probably compose about 10 to
15 emails every day.
So I would definitely say that I enjoy that aspect of writing emails to people.
I think that when I write an email it conveys my complete thought and also it gives a chance for the
person to respond to me in their own time.
Again you see the answer directly I did not repeat the question.
OK.
Try your best try.
And I know it's hard sometimes we all forget or forget sometimes.
OK in terms of not repeating the question but that's what we have to be able to do.
Inka you want to be able to answer in that kind of way.
And and then answer and extend and be used and you sit in a language from the question.
So when you're answering all these different questions for part one just make sure you do that.
Make sure you make sure you actually go about doing that.
I we're like here do you.
Let's talk about fashion.
Do you like fashionable things again.
Bad answer yes I like fashionable things.
Right.
And then you stop right there.
That's a bad answer.
You have to show that you have an ability to speak English when you when you're able to answer and extend
your answer.
That's what shows that you have the ability to really do well in terms of really that you really have
a high level of English.
Saul if you were to if you were if you were responding to this if you were responding to do you like
fashionable things you might say when I was much younger I did not appreciate fashion very much.
But now I enjoy all of the latest fashion in terms of clothes magazines and also music.
That's a good answer.
And I use the complex senses I started with when do you dress differently on weekends and weekdays.
OK.
Again we don't want to just give a basic repeating question.
OK.
So a proper answer to this question might be the weekend then the week days are totally separate from
me and I treat them much much different that I treat them very very differently during the week.
I would very often wear business clothes which means that I will have on long button up shirt and slacks.
However on the weekend you may find me in shorts sandals and a T-shirt headed out to the beach.
So I would definitely say if someone were to see me they would see two different people.
OK.
So answer extend explain answer extend explain.
Another thing that you have to make sure that you really be careful with when you're answering the question
is don't go outside the box or the question.
OK.
Don't go outside the box of the question don't do that.
All right.
Don't go outside the box.
The question you know don't what I mean by that is if they're asking you if they're asking you about
do you like fashionable things.
And you know you shouldn't go outside the box the question and start talking about your favorite your
favorite fashion designer.
Or I mean just going really outside the question.
Try to stay within the question OK.
Try to stay within the question and that's very very important because a lot of students have a tendency
to go off in the wrong direction when trying to answer questions and they end up.
And then that's why the the greater has to tell them to stop speaking because they gone.
They've gone off track.
OK.
So I would really encourage you to go through these questions and try answering the questions the way
I just explained to you in terms of answering and extending your answer answering and extending your
answer answer and extend your answer.
All right.
So I'll talk to you soon.
