hirastra.com/companiesRead Aloud: slow down
Speak at a steady, natural pace and pause briefly at commas and full stops. Daily drill: read one news paragraph aloud, record it on your phone, play it back, fix two words, record again.
Record → listen → fix 2 words → record againRepeat and Sentence Builds: chunk it
Hold the sentence in chunks of 3–4 words instead of word by word. If you miss a word, say the rest of the sentence anyway; a partial answer is better than silence. Start speaking right after the beep.
Use a summary writing template
Write short, correct sentences and check articles, tense and spelling before submitting. Simple and correct beats long and broken.
The passage is about ___. The main point is ___. In my opinion, ___ because ___.Fix your setup before the test
Use wired earphones with a mic, a quiet room and a charged laptop. Run the audio check, speak at normal volume and keep the mic slightly below your mouth. Practise with free videos on YouTube.
