In Part 2 of the Linguaskill General Speaking test, you'll be asked to read aloud 8 sentences that will be shown on the screen. Each sentence is considered one question.
Unlike Part 1, all questions in Part 2 will be scored so attempt all questions in Part 2 seriously.
Part 2 of the Linguaskill General Speaking test is perhaps the easiest section in the whole test. This is because there is no thinking time involved and the task (read the sentence) is straightforward.
Moreover, despite how easy the task is compared to other sections, Part 2 contributes an equal amount of points to your final test score (i.e. 20%).
Therefore, focus on getting full marks for Part 2 of the Speaking test if you need a high Speaking score. You'll never find another easier section in the Linguaskill General Speaking test.

For example, see if you can pronounce these words correctly. Try speaking the words out loud first, then click on the audio icon to check if you are pronouncing the word correctly.
How did you do? If you feel uncomfortable speaking these words or if you got most of them wrong, then you'll probably need to improve your speaking vocabulary in order to get a perfect score in Part 2.

There are some special words in Part 2 such as contractions and abbreviations that you'll need to learn, too. These words are tricky because they can't be 'read' correctly just by looking at how they are written.
For example:
Read the sentences calmly and smoothly. Don't rush. If you can, quickly look at the whole sentence before speaking it out loud. This will help you speak a little more smoothly.
You do not need to read in any particular accent. Focus on speaking the words clearly and confidently instead. Make sure you don't slur your words!
