Question Type 1: Basic Description Questions

Summary of "Yes / No" Questions

The most important thing is to avoid repeating the question structure with a "Yes" or "No". Example:

"Is fast food popular in your country?"

"Yes, fast food is very popular in my country, especially..."

As we have seen before, repeating the question structure does not have any significant influence on your score, so if you want a high score - DON'T DO IT!

With these questions you need to think quite quickly, especially if you want to give a “Yes and No" style answer. You don't need to have wonderful ideas for your "Yes and No" answer. Just something that gives you the chance to use the structure. Remember - the examiner is not marking your ideas.
