Speaking
3 parts

- 4-5 minutes part 1 (introduction)
- 3 minutes part 2 (start to the topic, we given the clue card) talk and give an example, you can just lie
- 4-5 minutes part 3 (detail discussion on part 2)
- accurately in pronunciation
- be careful on stress (record and record) (present and present)
- don't worry about accent

How to improve?

Increase exposure to English (avoid translating)
Use academic language
Practice as much as you can (practicing alone is not enough)
Evaluate yourself (find the answer)

Record yourself if you don't have scoring partner


You can draw instead of write an outline

Use indent consistently
All the information is writen in the passage (reading), instruction (writing)

Tips:

Try to write equally in writing (8-9 words in a line)

I SAID OK, LETS MEET TONINGT. To be honest those days I laugh too much caused by several things in my office, so I am scared if I will got the bad result after meeting him.  WE MET AT OUR SECOND MEETING PLACE. HE IS ALONE. At that time we are chatting something that is not really important until when the shop is going to close he asked me "WHAT DO YOU THING ABOUT MARRIAGE IS?
