1. Task Format & Timing

You will hear 5–6 questions. Each question is followed by a short audio gap where you must provide your answer.

• Immediate Response: Start speaking as soon as the status changes to "Recording."
• No Hesitation: If you don't know the answer, it’s better to say something relevant or simply click "Next."
• Wait Time: If you don't speak within 3 seconds, the microphone will close.

2. Key Strategies for Success

While the weight is lower than "Read Aloud," these points can be the difference between a 78 and a 79.

• Keep it Short: The AI is looking for specific keywords. A single word is often better than a full sentence.
• Articles Don't Matter: Saying "the sun" or just "sun" are both usually accepted as correct.
• Plurals Matter: Listen carefully to whether the question implies a singular or plural answer.
• Don't Overthink: Most questions are based on everyday logic (e.g., "What do you call a person who treats sick people?").

3. Vocabulary & Common Themes

Questions typically fall into these categories:

1. Academic Tools: Lab equipment, stationery, libraries.
2. Nature & Time: Seasons, solar system, calendars.
3. Professionals: Doctors, architects, historians.
4. Daily Life: Transport, household items, food.
