Conversation


1)- Do not look down. Establish eye contact with the examiner. 
 
2)-Listen carefully to the question asked. Respond relevantly and appropriately.
3) 
-Speak in complete sentences. Do not use slang.
4) 
- Do not stop at “Yes” or “No” in your answers. Elaborate on your responses without prompting from the examiners. 
 
- Smile and show interest. Respond enthusiastically.
  “Yes, I would love to…    In fact, I have just …”
 
- Do not  shrug your shoulders or give “I don’t know” answers. 
 
- When in doubt, do not say “Hah?” or “What?”
 
- Use dialogue fillers such as “Hmmm…”, “Well…”, “Uh-huh…” when you need time to process your thoughts.
 
- Share real-life experiences or stories with the examiners to enhance your responses.
 
 - Draw ideas from the picture stimulus to help you 
   elaborate on your points.
 
- If you are given a topic you know nothing about, do not 
  panic. Think of how you can talk around the topic.
      “No, I have not been to the cinema in the past one year 
      but I have seen a very good film in school… …”
 
REMEMBER
GREET THE EXAMINERS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE EXAMINATION. THANK THE EXAMINERS BEFORE YOU TAKE LEAVE OF THEM.
