MUET

Speaking
Task A – Individual presentation
Given the situation, you now have:

· 2 minutes to prepare your responses

· 2 minutes to present

Tips:
Study the scenario or topic given carefully
Double check which candidate you are (A, B, C, D) to make sure you
don’t prepare another candidate’s speech
Make sure you don’t run out of topic
Prepare 2 to 3 points to present on
You MUST agree with the point that is given to you (you can disagree or
favor another point in Task B)
Make full use of the 2 minutes that you have. Don’t go less than 1 minute
45 seconds / more than 2 minutes.
If you don’t have as many points to speak about, talk slower.
Don’t relax after your turn! Keep an attentive ear to what the other
candidates are talking about.
Write down the other students’ answers as they present their 2-minute
speech (to prepare yourself for Task B)
Task B – Group discussion
You are given:
· 2 minutes to prepare your points to either support or oppose the other
candidates’ views
· Decide on which of the 4 points you think is the best (Note: it is
perfectly fine to agree with another candidate’s points just as long as you
explain “why” and “how it is the best point”)
Example: “I think that parents play a big part in influencing their child’s
character, but after listening to Candidate D I would have to agree that
famous personalities have more influence in a person’s character. The
reason is because (add on one point to Candidate D’s answers).”
· The entire group is given 10 minutes for this discussion

Tips:
NEVER keep silent
It is a plus point when you initiate the discussion. (Example: “To kick
start the discussion, after listening to all of the other candidates’ answers I
still stand by my own point that parents can influence a person’s character
the most.”)
Ask other candidates questions to keep the discussion alive (Example:
“How about you, Candidate B? What do you think?” “What do you mean
by that, Candidate C? Could you elaborate more on that point?”)
If you want to interrupt when someone is speaking, do it politely.
(Example: “I’m sorry, may I interrupt?”)
Overall Tips:
Speak loudly and clearly so that the examiners can hear you.

Don’t be too nervous up to the point where you can’t speak properly.
Take a deep breath, and speak slowly and clearly.
Make eye contact with the examiners and the other candidates –
especially during Task B as it is a group discussion.
Use good language. Good choice of words and sentence structure are plus
points.
Don’t be rude. Always say “excuse me” when you wish to interrupt, and
“thank you” after giving your speech in Task A.
