In today’s lesson on Trills and Spills, students practiced speaking in preparation for the MATEC English oral examination. The instructor emphasized the importance of excellent language command, accurate structures, a wide range of vocabulary, and clear pronunciation with appropriate intonation. Students were advised to provide extended responses using idiomatic expressions to achieve higher marks, as simply answering with “yes” or “no” is insufficient. Lastly, the exam format was explained, including the need to answer a variety of questions from two sets and the expectation for detailed responses during the examination.
