The words to use
- Beat
- One idea you want the examiner to leave with, stored as a short noun phrase such as "the care home Sundays". Three beats hold a whole answer.
- Controlled spontaneity
- Fixed content, fresh wording. You know which three things you will say, but you build the sentences live each time.
- Re-entry
- Rejoining your own answer after an interruption by saying where you are going, instead of restarting from the beginning.
- Ban list
- A list of your own phrases that keep repeating word for word in practice. Banning them forces you back to the idea.
