Question 2 provides you with only two possible answers. As a result, question 2 is often easier than question 1 because you don’t have to think of your answer. The structure of these questions is always a 20-to-30-word question that asks you to discuss something (especially your opinion).
The topics of these questions do vary quite a bit, but they deal with the same overall topics as question 1.
Graders are trained to assign each of your answers either a 1, 2, 3, or 4 depending on the quality and strength of your answer.
A 1 is uncommunicative; students who earn this score may have survival English but nothing more.
A 2 is limited; this is for students who can survive comfortably with English but cannot express themselves very well.
A 3 is communicative; students with this score are comfortable with English and have next to no limitation with the language.
A 4 is nearly fluent; this is awarded to students who display a fluent command of the language.
Tips:
Your success will come from your comfort, your technique, and your ability to get over your feeling of “I don’t know how to answer this” and just speak.
Don’t spend time on thinking of an answer. Just choose something that you think is ok, that you can support.
Write your answer before the question finishes because you know the last sentence will always be something like, “use specific reasons and details to explain your answer.” Don’t wait for that sentence to end.
Always look at the timer.
Focus on your answer and don’t think “Am I doing good job”, as you say.
Even if your answer has no sense, your quality of speech should be relatively calm and natural. So, there would be a perception of your ability to speak well.
Some more tips:
Record yourself.
Make a transcript of it.
Study your transcript against the above format.
Fix it and make it perfect.
Then rerecord it.
