Grammar
- Three tenses - past, present, future
- opinion with extension
- range of vocabulary, including some adverbs.
Communication
- Not too much hesitation, reasonably confident and if possible, spontaneous (you don't sound like you are answering a pre-memorised sentence).
- answers are consistently good.
- Your answers need to be relevant to the topic, the title and each question.
Accuracy
- fairly good accent or pronunciation, everything is understood.
- grammar needs to be reasonable correct. (verb endings, etc)
With task one, remember that it is a PERFORMANCE. It doesn't matter if the set of questions you prepared was great, it only matters what you PERFORM in the exam.
Chunk it up and practice as if you were preparing for a theater play. Not reading, not writing, but SPEAKING IT.
