    • Fluency and accuracy are extremely important in part two, the cue card, because basically, you're building a story one to two minutes long, and from start to finish, it must make sense, making sure that you answer all the questions on the card. There are a few great strategies and tricks that Akshan implores to achieve this goal. Firstly, he starts by answering the topic of the cue card directly. The cue card asks for the candidate to talk about a person they have spent a lot of time with. So Akshan right away states, I have been spending a considerable amount of time with my master's supervisor, Dr. Patel. It's a clear and direct answer using the present perfect progressive. The next strategy that Akshan implores is having great structure, as he knows that when talking about a person, it's a good idea to say a little bit about their appearance so the listener can visualize Dr. Patel as having a bit of a fat belly, and then talking about that person's characteristics, personality, and backing it up with actions, like stating that Dr. Patel is a hard worker who spends dozens of hours in the computer lab. This kind of structure and storytelling from start to finish is what will not only maintain but build that band nine result. Notice again that Akshan does not rush his speech, his sentences. Instead, he focuses on enunciating important words and connecting his thoughts, like saying, therefore, we sit for a cup of tea to discuss about our research. Finally, when he's finished answering all of the questions, making sure to look at his notes and cue card, which help his fluency and accuracy, then at the end, he gives a sentence which concludes his thoughts and tells the examiner that he is finished and she can stop him. So he says, one day, I hope to earn as much respect in the scientific community as Dr. Patel. This is a clear indication that his story has ended and he's ready for part three. And now we will continue with part three. For this part, I will ask you questions related to part two. Let's talk about spending time with others. Why is it important to spend time with people we care about? I believe the greatest joy in life comes when we spend quality time with the people we share a bond with. It could be sharing a laughter with friends or family or a master's thesis with your professor. That's what makes life worth living. It gives people motivation and confidence to step up in life and be successful. What are positive ways to spend time together? I would say beneficial interactions are the one that stimulates both mind and the body. This could be working on a project together or playing a sport like cricket.
