Do not memorise complete answers
Memorised responses can sound unnatural and may not fit the exact question. Build flexible ideas, vocabulary and structures instead.
Speaking improvement requires producing answers under time pressure, not only reading sample responses. Recorded practice helps you hear hesitation, repetition, weak development and pronunciation issues that are easy to miss while speaking.
Practise Parts 1, 2 and 3 in sequence, then review fluency, vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation patterns. Repeat the same topic only after identifying what needs to change.
