क्या expect करें
Format
Basics
- आपको topic वाला task card (cue card) मिलता है
- Prepare करने और notes बनाने के लिए 1 minute मिलता है
- आप 1 से 2 minutes तक अकेले बोलते हैं
- Examiner एक या दो short follow-up questions पूछ सकता है
A typical cue card
Describe something or someone, and you are told to say:
- what / who it is
- when or where it happened
- why it is important or how you feel about it
Scoring कैसे होती है
The examiner listens for:
- your ability to speak at length without stopping
- a range of vocabulary and grammar
- clear organisation of ideas
- natural pronunciation
Tip
Aim to fill the full 2 minutes — stopping early lowers your fluency score.
1-minute prep का उपयोग
जल्दी plan करें
क्या करें
- Full sentences नहीं, key words लिखें
- Card के हर point के लिए एक idea note करें
- Example या short story सोचें
- Start कैसे करेंगे तय करें
Example notes
- who → my grandmother
- when → childhood summers
- why → kind, funny, taught me to cook
Answer structure करें
Mini introduction
जिसके बारे में बोलेंगे उसे name करके शुरू करें।
उदाहरण
I'd like to talk about my grandmother, who has had a big influence on my life.
हर point cover करें
क्या करें
- Use each bullet on the card as a mini paragraph
- Add details and examples to each one
- Do not skip any point
Add a Short Story or Example
Personal example answer को लंबा और ज्यादा interesting बनाता है।
उदाहरण
I remember one summer when she taught me how to bake bread, and we spent the whole afternoon laughing in the kitchen.
Wrap up
आप कैसा महसूस करते हैं या यह क्यों important है, इससे finish करें।
उदाहरण
That's why she means so much to me, and I always look forward to visiting her.
Useful phrases
Starting
- I'd like to talk about…
- The thing I want to describe is…
- Let me tell you about…
Sequencing & Adding Detail
- first of all
- another thing is
- what I remember most is
- on top of that
- in particular
Describing Feelings
- it meant a lot to me
- I was thrilled
- it was unforgettable
- I'll never forget…
उदाहरण
It was an unforgettable experience, and I'll never forget how proud I felt that day.
बोलते रहें
Do Not Stop Early
If you run out of ideas
- add more detail
- give another example
- explain how you felt
- compare it to something else
उदाहरण
Compared to other relatives, she was always the one who listened, which is probably why I felt so close to her.
Common mistakes
Stopping Too Soon
सिर्फ 30 seconds बोलना score limit करता है। Examiner रोकने तक बोलते रहें।
Reading Notes Word for Word
Notes reminders हैं, script नहीं। उनसे naturally बोलें।
Ignoring a Point on the Card
सभी bullet points cover करें ताकि answer complete लगे।
Going Completely Off Topic
Examples जोड़ते समय भी card के topic के close रहें।
Sample cue card और answer
Model answer
I'd like to talk about my grandmother, who has had a huge influence on my life. I've known her, of course, since I was born, and I spent almost every summer at her house when I was a child.
She was a warm and patient person, and she loved teaching me practical things. What I remember most is the summer she taught me how to bake bread. We spent the whole afternoon in the kitchen, covered in flour and laughing the entire time. She never got frustrated, even when I made mistakes, and she always encouraged me to keep trying.
She influenced me in many ways. Above all, she taught me to be patient and to enjoy small moments rather than always rushing. Compared to other people in my family, she was the one who really listened, which is probably why I felt so close to her.
That's why she means so much to me. Even now, whenever I face a difficult situation, I think about her advice, and I always look forward to visiting her whenever I get the chance.
