Common mistakes part 1

Giving too short answers. ​

Solution: the answer can never be shorter than the question. Don’t give too much detail. Answer in a simple way and add one extra sentence.​

​e.g. What do you usually do in the weekend? ​

Not having prepared keywords.​

Solution: study the most common words that you know you may get questions about, e.g. hobbies, future studies, family, weekends, etc.
