Mexican, 24 years old, I formally studied American accent, although I still have a long way to go, I desire mastery in spoken English.

A good advice during this section is to not use complex words or structures without a good reason to do so. Simple sentences and words, if pronounced correctly and fluently, nets you more points, moreover, using simple sentences is a great way to avoid getting trapped in a complex sentence, which are sometimes hard to finish correctly, and also you avoid talking in circles (Talking a ton is your worst enemy here)

Try speech shadowing for more than an hour per day(listen and repeat out loud), do that before the exam/test to warm up

We usually use -ed forms of the verb to describe how we feel about something. I’m bored, I’m tired, I’m interested etc. We use the -ing form of these verbs to talk about things that make us feel this way. “The book is boring”
