Speaking Hack 9: It's not all about you, especially Section 3. 1
All right, guys, you must talk about people in general or society as a whole for Section 3. 2
If you try to discuss your personal experience, the examiner should attempt to guide you back to you 3
discussing the topic from a broader perspective, related to society, or people in general. 4
Part 3 is never focused on the candidate's personal experiences. 5
Rather, it concentrates on issues related to society, community, and the bigger picture. 6
For example, a candidate may be questioned on how the Internet is changing the way we communicate. 7
Let's see what happens. 8
Examiner: "How is the Internet changing the way people communicate?" 9
Candidate: 10
"In my case, I used Skype to talk with my friends and family, 11
since I'm overseas." The examiner should then course-correct this test-taker. Examiner: 12
"But how has society in general changed by communicating using the Internet?" Candidate: 13
"I feel that society is becoming a tighter community. 14
Social media like Skype and Facebook are connecting people, even though they are thousands of kilometers 15
apart." 16
So remember, it's not all about you... 17
for Section 3.
