How to use your 1-minute preparation time Here is some advice:
1.
One minute is a very short amount of time! I found it just as difficult as
my students did.
2.
A simple list is probably faster and easier than a diagram or mind map.
3.
You need to decide on your topic as quickly as possible. Then spend
most of your time making notes.
4.
Try to write at least one key idea for each part of the question.
5.
Don't write sentences, and don't waste time erasing "mistakes".
6.
Try to use a topic you have already prepared.
7.
Forget about grammar. Focus on answering the question.
8.
Finally, fast preparation is a skill that you can practise. Why not train
yourself by making notes for a few different questions every day?
