The integrated speaking tasks give you material — a campus notice plus a conversation, or a reading plus a lecture — then about thirty seconds to prepare and forty-five to sixty to speak. Nobody improvises well in thirty seconds. Prepare a structure in advance and fill it on the day.
The campus task. A notice announces a change; two students discuss it; you report the opinion and the reasons.
"The university has announced that … The man disagrees with this change for two reasons. First, … Second, …"
That frame takes four seconds to say and leaves your whole preparation window for the reasons themselves.
The academic task. A passage defines a concept; a lecture gives examples; you explain the concept using the examples.
"The reading defines … as … The professor illustrates this with two examples. In the first, … In the second, …"
Watch the clock in practice. Sixty seconds is longer than it sounds under pressure and shorter than it sounds when you have nothing left to say at forty. Time yourself until you know what sixty seconds of your own speech contains — usually about 130 to 150 words.
Speak at your normal pace. Rushing to fit more in reduces intelligibility, which is scored. Finishing five seconds early with a complete answer is better than being cut off mid-example.
Do not read your notes aloud. Scoring includes delivery, and reading flattens the rhythm audibly. Glance, then speak.
