4. CONCESSION:
This strategy involves making a main point and then giving a
counterargument to it, as follows:
Well, recently I’d have to say that I have been enjoying eating steak and
each time I feel like a steak I go to Outback Steak House because
the steaks there are huge. However, I think that it may not be all that
healthy to eat so much red meat, as I’ve heard it can lead to high levels of
cholesterol.
5. AVOIDANCE:
This strategy involves not directly answering the
question at first, and then
answering it, as follows:
Well, to be honest, I don’t really have a favorite food; but I guess that if I
had to choose one, then I’d go for something like pizza– you know, I just
love all that cheese and tomato sauce.
Avoiding phrase = Well, to be honest, I don’t really have…
Answering phrase = but I guess that if I had to choose one…

Speak at a variable speed rate
Your grade for fluency requires that you speak at a good speed.
You must demonstrate
this to the examiner, but you do NOT need to speak quickly throughout the entire
exam. Vary your speed as follows:
Slow down when you…
1. reach a difficult area or are unsure of what you will say
2.
want to emphasize something
3. are using high level language to make the examiner notice it
Speed-up when you…
1. are comfortable with the topic and what you are saying
2. are giving less important information
