#Speaking #Tip
When you’re asked a question, try to answer it without repeating the whole question in your answer.
For example:
If you are asked ‘What's the most interesting thing about your hometown?’
Don't reply ‘The most interesting thing about my hometown is…’
Just say ‘It's…’ and describe it.
Then, you can expand on your answer, if possible, by adding something like: ‘Most people find
this interesting because…’
You can then add a synonym of the words used by the examiner. So, instead of interesting say
something like: ‘Most people find this fascinating because…’
So, don't try to ‘fill up’ your answer by repeating the question back to the Examiner and try to add a little ‘extra’ to show off your English. Remember, it's a conversation with the Examiner. He/she will want to see if you are fluent and coherent. They can't do this if you just repeat back large chunks of a question! Examiners are looking for your own ideas.
