The visual information may not match their criteria exactly, so you will have to use speculative language when framing your response.  \n• Remember, you’re not expected to use all the information on the screen, but instead select the information that you think is the most relevant and which supports your recommendation.  \nAdvice for Part 4  \n• In part four you will be shown a statement on the screen which you will need to discuss.  \n• Use the thinking time to construct your arguments, and to consider examples you can use to illustrate and justify the points you make.  \n• Make sure you plan what you are going to say carefully, so that you give both sides of the argument as well as your conclusion within the avail","cbCaikklORvYVVOG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikklORvYVVOG","pdf",255062,"English","# During the test\n## Before the test\n## All parts\n# Test advice by part\n## Warm-up questions\n## Advice for Part 1\n## Advice for Part 2 (section 1)\n## Advice for Part 2 (section 2)\n## Advice for Part 3\n## Advice for Part 4","[{\"question\":\"What should you do with the microphone during the test?\",\"answer\":\"Keep the microphone the same distance from your mouth throughout the test, and avoid touching the microphone part of the headset to prevent noise or interference.\"},{\"question\":\"How should you use the preparation time shown in the orange and green bars?\",\"answer\":\"Use the orange bar to think about what you will say and plan your response.
