If your Speaking Part 2 answer sounds memorized, the fix is not “speak naturally.” It’s this: stop planning sentences. Plan 3 scenes 📌

1. In the 1-minute prep, write only 3 note groups:
start — where/who it begins
moment — what actually happened
after — why it still matters

2. Add one concrete detail to each scene.
Example for “describe a useful skill you learned”:
start: cousin taught me / summer break
moment: first time editing a short video / cut wrong clip
after: used it for school project / felt confident

3. Speak scene by scene, not bullet by bullet 🧠
Use simple bridges: At first… The main moment was… What stayed with me was…

Why this works ✅ you sound less rehearsed because the wording changes each time, but the structure still carries you to 2 minutes.
