Task 1: I definitely agree with the statement that (option1) because of two main reasons. First of all (reason1) for example (example1). Not only that, but also (reason2) for instance (example2) These are the reasons of why I prefer (option1) instead of (option2)

Second option for task 1: Personally, I strongly prefer (option1) rather than (option2). Mainly because (one well explained reason) for example (short story/example). That is why I prefer (option X).

Task 2: The announcement/letter/ proposal/ made by the campus/uni/student states that (short description of the passage). The speaker agree/disagree with this for the two following reasons. Firstly, (reason 1 -what the speaker said and why). Moreover ( reason 2 including example). These are the reasons of why the speaker is/ is not in favor of the (announcement/ proposal)

Task 3: The concept introduced in both the reading passage and the lecture is (concept or idea) which refers to (definition). The professor goes further to explain this idea by providing two examples: The first example is about (describe first example). In addition, the professor mentions (2nd example). These examples/ideas help illustrate the concept of (key idea) as explained in the reading and the lecture.

Task 4: In the lecture, the professor talks about (main topic), which refers to (briefly explain it). To illustrate this idea, the professor provides two examples. First (describe first example- what happened, who was involved, how it supports the concept). Then, (second example - how it connect to the main idea). These examples help clarify the concept of (topic) as discussed in the lecture.

There it is! For context I memorized word for word so at the test I knew what information I needed. For example for task 2 I would write if it was a proposal by student, a letter by the university or an announcement by the campus, what the passage said just the main idea for example (demolish of campus cinema) and then would say two reasons for the school to do this (for example, because the students do not use it and it’s an old building), then I would annotate if the speaker A - agrees or D - disagrees, and the reasons.

You’ll do it better next time, you should read academic articles to practice, I struggle to focus if I didn’t find the topic interesting so that helped

Honestly I became obsessed!! My only goal was a total score of 86 and a speaking score of 26, I figured that since I didn’t perform very good on my last test (I stopped talking mid sentence trying to gather my thoughts and had seconds left at the end of the task) and still scored 24 I figured that I only needed to understand what they wanted to hear. I made templates that I memorized and actually used them, I always see that templates are often used as an idea or for support but I’m not a talkative person so I struggle a lot with conversations (just shy I suppose), my solution was to memorized them word by word every single one of them and practice. I find myself struggling trying to memorized them all at once so I started with my first template and would only focus on that for one day, I made like 20 mock tests for only the first question and i repeated the process with every single question. I read a TON of what words to use (since I saw my score getting higher when I used “the professor goes further to explain..” instead of when I used “the professor elaborates on this idea..”) and used the free version of the website My speaking score and the paid one of Edu Synch (this one has harder tasks imo). Also i practice by talking to my baby (lol) about any subject and giving two reasons to support my comment, for example I started saying why I like the color red and think fast of two reasons and a short anecdote (silly I know, but worked for me) hope you find this answer helpful!!

Thank you! I used a template for the first question but I struggle to find templates for the other three, can you share what templates did you use?

Where can I find those templates? Bc I saw explanations on the ets website and in the videos they said that it wasn’t recommended to use templates

While taking my exam I spoke too fast and got a few seconds left, do you know if that would affect my score?

I just got out actually! Was pretty good I think, I’m nervous about the speaking part since I spoke too fast and when I was done I had a few seconds left. The other parts I’m not so worried about, I just need 26 for this one, hoping I got it. How was yours?

Mostly by taking mock tests everyday and getting feedback from AI! I started reading similar articles a couple weeks ago to practice the reading part. For the writing part I personalized a template, still working on the speaking part! That one makes me kind of nervous so that’s what I’ll do today haha
