How did I do it? Practise! Practise!. <br />I practised by recording my voice on a tape recorder whilse commenting on general issues and possible topics. After that, I listen to it and make all the necessary corrections. <br /> <br />I found out from friends who had taken TSE and failed that they thought the one minute was too short so they were speaking very fast. If you speak fast and you realise you are deviating from the topic, you can become too confused and will not score. The rater will not understand what you say. Number 1 lesson is speak moderately slow and never let the stop sound cut you. <br /> <br />Also, there is always a question on solving problems as a professional in your work place ( mistakes with customers,etc) so practise all possible situations where you must come in as a professional to solve. <br /> <br />There is always a question where you must leave a message on an answering machine. Learn how to greet and conclude a message. It will help you. <br /> <br />When answering question 1, (picture story), make sure when you begin with present tense, it continues to the end. Dont mix present and past tenses together. <br />This is the little advise I have for candidates. <br />Remember, I never used any text book or material. I just listened and watched the news broadcast on TV. <br />GOOD LUCK.
