How to approach it
- Use the prep time. Scan the text and note difficult words before the mic opens.
- Read in phrases. Group words into meaningful chunks and pause at commas and full stops.
- Keep a steady pace. Do not rush. Clear pronunciation beats speed.
- Do not stop for mistakes. If you slip, keep going. Hesitation costs fluency marks.
