Part 1 questions are about ordinary life. The skill is not the topic. It is the length and shape of the answer.
Too short
Do you enjoy cooking?
Weak: Yes, I do.
Better: Yes, I do. I usually cook at home during the week because
it’s healthier and cheaper than eating out.
A simple pattern
- Direct answer
- Reason
- Detail or example
That is enough. Do not give a speech. Do not stop after one word.
Everyday topics
Home, hometown, work or studies, food, travel, technology, hobbies, friends, weekends. Answer as yourself. Memorised speeches sound memorised.
How long
Part 1: about three or four clear sentences. If you hear yourself repeating the same sentence in new clothes, stop.
Natural connectors
- Actually… / Usually… / I’d say…
- One reason is… / For example… / It depends…
- Compared with… / Personally…
Build one
Question: Do you prefer mornings or evenings? Write a direct answer, a reason, and one detail. Then reveal a natural model.
