Updated 16 April, 2026

Integrated speaking and listening practice.
Listen to a lecture and then speak about it for 40 seconds. This tests your listening comprehension and oral fluency simultaneously.
The Template Method:
Use a template like: 'The lecturer was discussing [Main Topic]. He/She mentioned [Key Point 1]. Furthermore, he/she highlighted [Key Point 2]. In conclusion, the lecture was very informative.'
This allows you to focus 100% on the content rather than worrying about sentence structure.
