Speaking Hack 7: Avoid scripted responses. A scripted response simply means that you memorized 1
the response before taking the speaking exam, and it happens quite often. 2
Be careful of this, since examiners look for any memorized responses. 3
And if you keep repeating the same expressions or connectors, it will be detected. 4
Some candidates attempt to use a scripted response for a topic that's not even related to what they've 5
memorized! 6
The result is an inappropriate response, that will cause the candidate to drop a band! Steer clear of memorized 7
responses, so you can give an authentic and appropriate response. 8
This isn't much different than copying the writing prompt in the writing section of the exam, which 9
will cover in another course.
