Remember what is being tested in Part 2 is not just your ability to keep

talking, but your ability to talk about what the examiner asks you to talk
about. If you simply describe the picture and do not mention the attitudes
and
problems of those living there, you have failed to take up the opportunity
to show what you can do.
You do not have to agree with your fellow-candidates all the time.
In fact you will be able to make a fuller contribution to the speaking
test if you have some different ideas of your own to express.
However, it is not a good idea to indulge in an over-heated argument:
most examiners do not want to hear a violent disagreement, which could
be embarrassing! So try to be polite and friendly all the times.
You may need some time to think but don't waste time panicking in your own language! Think aloud in English. Using
fillers can often give you the time you need. However, do not overuse them as the examiner might think you are at a loss
for words permanently!
