Lesson 17 — Speaking Practice Cheat Sheet
In one line: Record yourself across all 3 parts, then check for extended answers, natural linking, and tense range — not word-perfect matching to the model.
Key Ideas
1Practice all 3 parts. Part 1 short answers, Part 2 long turn, Part 3 abstract discussion.
2Compare structure, not wording. Model answers show organisation, not a script to memorise.
3Self-assess. Full/extended answers, natural linking phrases, tense range.
