Yes, there will be face-to-face meeting. A certified examiner will judge how good you are at talking
with people in English.
The examiner may ask you plenty of questions and you will have to be ready with answers for such
questions. General introduction is a part of the test in which you will be asked about what you do,
what you want to do, why such a subject, what your plans are and other things which can be related
to you, your family, friends and work. Each and every question shall be answered with all due
intelligence and fluency. This is the part of the test in which examiner wants you to get relaxed and
friendly.
You will have to answer as fluently as you can, as spontaneously as you can. This will comprise
25% of your score. If you take time to think and answer your score will go down.
Speak as more as you can. The moment you stop you lose the score. If you are asked about your
family, try to talk about it at least for 20-30 seconds or so. Deliver at least 5-7 sentences.
My family consists of me, my father and mother. My father works in a government sector and my
mother is a housewife. (the answer comprises only two sentences)
Well, we are a small family. My father, mother, two little brothers and me. I am the eldest. My
father is a lecturer in a college. My mother was also a lecturer but because of some family
responsibilities she quit her job. But, you know, she loves reading. Whenever she finds time, she
reads. My two younger brothers are studying. One is in class IX and the other is in Class XII. I love
my brothers. They are sometimes naughty and demanding. But, I love them a lot. (a good answer
always comprises more number of sentences).
Make use of correct sentences. There shall be no grammatical errors. You are advised to speak more
but this doesn’t mean that you shall make use of wrong sentences. Focus on what you are saying
and speak with confidence. Try to make use of small sentences to complete or continue your talk.
Creating long and complex sentences is not advisable.
No mugging up
Do not think you can provide some ready-made answers. Of course, to a certain extent you can
restructure or be ready with what you have to say when you are asked about yourself, your family,
friends, work or goals but do not give an answer that looks artificial. Examiners are trained to find
out ready-made answers. An examiner might ask you plenty of other questions to judge your
speaking skills if you provide ready-made answers.
