1-B 2-B 3-A 4-C | 5 = yes 6 = memorised 7 = (student's own extended answer) 8 = e.g. "I'd say that..." or "To be honest..." 9 = because every answer is graded against the same four Speaking criteria (Fluency, Vocabulary, Grammar, Pronunciation) from the very first question, regardless of how informal the topic feels | 10 = Examiners are specifically trained to detect rehearsed, memorised speech — it disrupts natural rhythm, intonation, and often doesn't quite answer the actual question asked, which hurts the Fluency and Coherence criterion; a shorter but genuinely spontaneous answer demonstrates real command of the language under pressure, which is what the test is actually trying to measure.
