Sometimes good speakers don't succeed in exams as well as they'd expect. Make sure not to make these mistakes:
- Puhut väärästä aiheesta. - You talk about the wrong topic.
- Et ymmärrä ohjeita. - You don't understand the instructions.
- Et sano mitään, koska pelkäät virheitä. - You don't say anything because you're afraid of mistakes.
- Mietit ja kirjoitat muistiinpanoja liian kauan eikä sinulle jää tarpeeksi aikaa puhua. - You think and write down your ideas for too long and won't have enough time to speak.
- Valitset liian vaikean aiheen. - You choose a topic that is too difficult.
- Sinulla ei ole mitään sanottavaa. - You have nothing to say. (Practice having an opinion on everything!)
Onnea kokeeseen! - Good luck with the exam!
