In the third section, you will have a lengthy discussion with an examiner for roughly 4-5 minutes, during which you will be questioned on a broader range of subjects related to those covered in part 2. The examiner will carefully evaluate your capacity for logical thought, articulation, and speaking.

1. You must appear interested and listen to the questions carefully before answering them: Sit straight and be attentive.

2. Each answer must have a clear motive and opinion if the question is opinion-based: Usually, questions are opinion based, and there are no extra marks for having a balanced opinion; therefore, justify and elaborate upon one side properly.

3. You should elaborate on these answers, so use examples wherever possible: Examples can help you elaborate in detail. Moreover, examples can be beneficial if you have limited reasons to justify.

4. Appropriate vocabulary that is topic-specific should be used: Each question's topic or theme will have a different set of words that you can use. For example, if the topic is business-related, then words like inflation, profit and loss should be used, which are directly related to the topic.

5. Base your practice on as many topics as you can cover before the final test: Each day, take up a new theme or topic and work on justifications, vocabulary and examples for the same.

Try to use the following as your format for each answer

1. Opinion: Start with your opinion if asked.
2. Reason: Always give a reason for choosing that as your opinion
3. Example; A valid example will justify your reasoning
4. Consequence: Finally, finish it with an ending, a conclusion to what you wanted to convey.
