sound exactly like a native speaker. People just want to
understand you. So if you’re talking too fast and trying to
sound like a native, you might actually become more difficult to
understand. Speed is not important. If you speak with clarity
and confidence, you will always sound better than if you’re in a
rush. You have to be able to relax, pause between sentences,
and use intonation and emotion.   If you want a high
score on the Speaking Section, the examiner must be able to
understand what you’re saying. Intonation is important
