We'll also give you some examples of how to extend your answers, or make them longer. For Part 2 of the test, we'll then focus on the "Individual Long Turn". We'll look at how to analyse the task effectively and how to organise your ideas so that you have a good start, and end, to your talk. For Part 3 of the test, we will focus on "The Discussion". You'll learn to develop vocabulary related to common Part 3 topics and also some of the common grammar features you need for success in the discussion.
