- Memorised answers : examiners spot them instantly. Practise ideas, not scripts.
- v / w confusion : "very" vs "wery". Practise minimal pairs daily.
- Missing articles : "I went to market" → "I went to the market".
- Short Part 2 : aim for the full 2 minutes using the bullet points as a story.
- Flat intonation : stress key words to sound engaged.
- Overusing "actually" and "basically".
- Translating from Bangla : think in simple English chunks instead.
