## Tips (1)

Before you start speaking:

- First look at the instructions.
- Try to think of words and expressions you might need.
- Use as many expressions as possible; you can use them if you're lost for words.
- DON'T write out your conversation or talk completely! If you do that, it will just be a writing and reading exercise!

While speaking:

- Make sure you start a conversation by greeting the other person in a polite way.
- Look at your partner or at your audience.
- Speak calmly and not too quietly.
- You can use a note, but make sure there are only a few words on it!
- If you don't know a word, you can always explain what you can use it for,
  or what it looks like.
- Try to keep on talking, even if you don't really know how you should say something.
