your answers to part one , the introductory questions, don't have to be very long, but at the same time do not stop with a yes, no answer.express yourself a little bit further, so as to help the examiner assess your Arabic and most importantly to help you get in the mood and relax.you can extend your answer with a reason or an example.

remember the examiner doesn't really care about your opinion or how good or creative your ideas are . In part 2 , both in the general topics questions' and in the role playing part , make sure to use your Arabic correctly , your Fusha, grammar and as many phrases and collocations as you can. share personal experiences and DO NOT forget to elaborate when asked to.
