Speaking Techniques to Score 90/90

  • Don't fumble when speaking, practice fluency.

  • Read at least two lines to avoid mistakes and provide more data.

"Peak don't fumble that's the technique number one for it a lot"

"A lot of people tell you to speak just one line which I don't suggest because one line let's say till here you spoke and you made a lot of mistakes software first of all you're giving very limited data on top of that you skip three words you made a lot of mistakes marks will completely go down"

Importance of Fluency and Content

  • Speaking full lines is important, but can speak two lines if confident.

  • Do not speak only one line, as it limits the data provided.

"Remember this so that's the reason avoid speaking one line speak one line only if you're very confident of read aloud otherwise don't speak full I'm telling you for everybody is speak full in the worst case if you really want to speak less then speak half don't just speak a very small line that's the strategy number two"

Avoid Stressing on Sounds

  • Do not give preference to stressing sounds like 'S'.

"Don't have to give preference to S sounds don't have to give preference to a song so what people end up doing lot many times [...] astronomy is a multi-phase scientific discipline the ten composers perfectly fine"

Speaking in Your Own Way
