Practice by recording your responses to identify areas for improvement and become more aware of your speaking habits.

• Example: Choose a topic, set a timer for two minutes, and speak. Afterward, listen to your recording. You might say:

“I talked about my favorite book, but I noticed I used ‘good’ too many times instead of more descriptive adjectives. I could have said ‘captivating’ or ‘thought-provoking’ to convey my feelings more effectively.”

• Explanation: Self-evaluation through recordings helps you become aware of repetitive language, filler words, and pronunciation issues, leading to more polished speaking skills. This technique also allows you to track your progress over time.
