muet tips 2

ni yang aku ambik daripada blog lama aku..

the speaking part consists of two sections,A and B.Section A is individually,and Section B is group discussion.Time allocated for the section is 2 minutes for Section A and 10 minutes for Section B.This part will be done in 4 people. All four of you will be given a topic with four different points for each candidate.

First of all,make sure train yourself to have fast-thinking and do a lot of exercises regarding on this part.
Brainstorm and write down your ideas quickly and use words you understand.
We need to have a wide range of knowledge through reading any source of knowledge.This helps us to know about the topic given more.
After you have done brainstorming and jot down the notes,you will asked to speak by the examiner.You will always do this like "errr...'',''aa...'',''umm..'' and etc.
Don't feel nervous.Try to relax.Otherwise,this will waste your time to speak.To overcome this,try to practice in front of mirror,practice yourself and also your friends as well..
Encourage to speak in English everyday.It'll be handy for you.
Make sure eye contact is important.When you speak individually,make sure to have eye contact with the candidates and teachers.

Eye contact is important.This draws attention to other candidates and the examiners as well.If we just read and read,people will bored and we don't want that to be happened.
Good usage of body gestures also plays a part in this part in both sections.If we just remain still and not moving,it makes our presentation not interesting.Intonations must be resonance according to what topic we had given.

Regarding on the group discussion in task B,it's the same method.But it is a bit different than the first one.In this part,we are allowed to interrupt,but in more polite way..
To do this,know other candidates' main ideas and jot down the ideas then you do so..This should be ample by the time given.Speak clearly so that the other candidates and the examiners can hear us.

Here are dos and don'ts when you're in a discussion:


Focus on the topic given and do not speak out of topic.
Be an active participant during task B
Use sequence connectors to initiate,maintaining and end the discussion
Observe social conventions when interacting.
Address others politely.
Be friendly,polite and diplomatic.
Do not stand still and saying nothing and also say yes,no.It doesn't help and get low marks for that
Give the other candidates chance to speak their opinions.Who knows that one of their opinions may be right in the discussion.
Pay attention to the discussion
Be open-minded to accept other's candidates opinion
Do not EVER think that we are always right.
Do not dominate the discussion.
Do not just do the same,it could be lame
Do not speak too fast or pause too long
Do not use peculiar speech habits such as 'you know','actually'.
Do not EVER use 'lah' in every end of the speech
Do not EVER shout even once
Do not daydream or wandering yourself when hearing other candidate's opinion.
Do not ever feel touched or upset when our idea is not accepted.
Avoid to be more personally,defensive or creating uneasiness and anxiety to the examiners and candidates
