TIPS AND SUGGESTION IN SPEAKING TEST…

1.    Before test, read all about current issue because in Bel 260 it will ask more about current issue not like Bel 120 it’s more about students, teenagers and parents.

2.    In individual task use more transition element to connect or adding points.

3.    Speak smoothly, clearly and slowly so that it can increase the time to finish.

4.    In task B, the more marks will be given for those who can agree, oppose or interrupt the idea that present by other team members with the proper way. For example,

a)    To interrupt = excuse me, may I interrupt? , Sorry to interrupt, by I also have my opinion to say….

b)    To agree= I absolutely agree with your opinion, I agree with that but for me….,

c)    To oppose = I totally disagree with your opinion, I not really agree what have you said just now because in my observation……

d)    Reduce the words like urmmm, aaaaaahh, because it will reduce the marks.

e)    Always try to help the members who silent and don’t know who to elaborate the point. For example:

i)             What do you think about the point?

ii)            Did you mean ……. just now?

iii)           Can you explain more about…..

How the marks will be given??

            The marks will be given on task fulfilment, language and communication ability.
