Speak at a normal speed. Do not rush or pause too long. Use simple connecting words like "well," "you know," "actually," or "I think" to sound natural. Practice talking about daily topics for 1-2 minutes without stopping. Record yourself on your phone.

Do one full listening test every few days. Use official Cambridge books or IDP free samples. Sit in a quiet room with headphones. Time yourself exactly 30 minutes plus 10 minutes transfer time. After finishing, check answers and note mistakes.
