Tips for Speaking
Test
- Greet the monitor (e.g. Good morning/Good afternoon, Sir / Madam) so that you can present yourself naturally and politely.
- Ask the monitor for permission before taking your seat with ease. (e.g. May I sit down Sir/ Madam?)
- Give your admission card to the monitor so that she/he can note down your symbol number and name in the scoring sheet. (e.g. Here is my admission card please.)
- The monitor may start the conversation asking various ordinary questions related to you such as your name, about your study, exams, family background etc.
- The monitor will show a set of pictures to describe them.
- Look at the given pictures or diagrams or maps carefully.
- Request the monitor for another set if you do not feel comfortable with the given set.
- Do not answer the questions in haste. The monitor will allow you some time (15/20 seconds) to respond to each question. Tenses and sentence structures should be as per the monitor asks.
- Try to use appropriate words, grammatically correct sentences and correct pronunciation while speaking.
- Try to give answer in a complete sentence. For example, 'Bhaktapur' is not a good answer for the question "Where do you live?". "I live in Bhaktapur" will be preferable.
- Try to be creative. Don't memorize answers.
- Say, thank you, bye / good bye, Sir / Madam before leaving the exam hall.
