Simon’s Advice on Speaking Part 1

Here are five simple rules for Speaking Part 1:
1. Keep your answers short, then stop with confidence. 
2. Answer the questions using full sentences. 
3. Use words from the examiner's question in your answer. 
4. If possible, give a reason for your answer. 
5. Don't forget to say "yes" or "no" when necessary. 
Here's an example to illustrate these points:
Do you like parks? 
Yes, I like parks because they are great places to relax. If you live in a city, a park is often the only 
place where you can escape from the noise and the traffic.

easier way. 
1. I admire learning languages as communication bridges.
