Do it every time

Role-play strategy

1Read the prompt

Identify the communicative task before choosing vocabulary.

2One strong sentence

Give one complete sentence; add a second only if it strengthens communication.

3Repair fast

If you miss something, ask politely.

عُذْرًا، هَلْ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ تُعِيدَ السُّؤَالَ؟
