Be Direct!

One of the biggest problems on the Speaking Section of the test is that people do not give clear, direct statements.  Try to train yourself to say: "I like dogs" instead of "Dogs are a thing that many people, like me, enjoy."  The more direct you are, the better your answer. To practice becoming more direct, write one sentence down, then rewrite it with 30% fewer words.  As you learn to write such short clear sentences, then you'll learn how to speak with a similar level of directness.
