Two kinds of questions: After your presentation, the teacher asks questions in two parts. In both, give full answers and have a real conversation.
Part 2: discussion
- About your image and your presentation.
- The teacher asks you to explain or add more.
- "Why do you think they look so happy?"
Part 3: conversation
- About at least one other theme.
- Wider questions on your life and your views.
- "Do you think technology brings people closer?"
Don't memorise answers: You don't know the questions in advance. Learn moves and phrases, not speeches. A memorised answer often misses the real question.

Never stop at one word: "Yes" gives the teacher nothing to mark. Use three moves every time.
Three moves
1
Answer + reason
"I think it does, because I can talk to friends far away."
2
Example + your life
"For example, I video-call my cousins. In my case, I still put my phone away at meals."
3
Keep it open
"So it really depends how you use it. What do you think?"
Answer → Example → Keep it open
