Comfortable Rhythm: Find a comfortable speaking rhythm that allows you to articulate each word clearly without sounding rushed.
Natural Pauses: Use natural pauses to enhance clarity. Pause slightly at the end of phrases, even if there is no punctuation. This will help you maintain a clear and coherent delivery.
Strategic Pauses: If you encounter long sentences without commas or full stops, break them down into smaller, manageable phrases and pause slightly at the end of each phrase.
Clear Enunciation: Ensure that each word is pronounced clearly. Focus on difficult words and practice them in advance to avoid stumbling during the test.
Avoid Skipping Words: In the standard read aloud approach, skipping one or two difficult words is permissible, but avoid making this a habit. For the one-line strategy, every word must be pronounced clearly without any omissions.
