You should say:
Once the session begins, the examiner leads the interaction. Questions are spoken aloud, listening starts automatically, and the interview continues when your turn is complete.
The examiner begins the turn instead of waiting for you to start a recorder.
Speak when the examiner finishes. There is no separate Record button between questions.
Listening and turn detection run automatically while the session follows your response.
The examiner takes the next turn automatically and may briefly prompt you when needed.
A Speaking simulator should simulate the interview — not turn it into a sequence of recording controls.
Response windows, pauses, and turn changes are handled inside the session. Internal detection rules stay in the background so you can focus on speaking.
Practise one part on its own or meet all three inside a Full Test. Each stage keeps its own speaking structure instead of reducing every task to the same recording screen.
The examiner opens the interview, asks personal and familiar-topic questions aloud, listens automatically, and continues through the conversation without asking you to control the recorder between answers.
A cue card appears with one minute to prepare and a notes area. The examiner tells you when to begin, listens through the long turn, and can take the conversation into a brief round-off question before Part 2 ends.
Part 3 moves into broader discussion. The examiner can probe an answer, challenge a point, ask about another perspective, and generate a follow-up question from what you have just said.
Full Test keeps the interview moving from the opening questions through the long turn and into the final discussion. You stay inside the same Speaking Room while the examiner handles each transition.
The examiner begins the session, moves through personal and familiar topics, and keeps the first part flowing automatically.
The session moves into the cue card, preparation and notes, followed by the long turn and a brief round-off before the discussion continues.
The examiner develops the conversation into related discussion, with probes, challenges, and answer-based follow-up questions when appropriate.
No separate rooms. No restarting between Parts. The examiner carries the interview from the opening question to the end of the test.
Choose the examiner setup that suits your practice, keep the recommended microphone mode for normal environments, and select the visual theme you want inside the Speaking Room.
Practise with examiner voices grouped across four English accent options.
Soft Voice is the recommended choice for normal speaking environments.
Change the visual atmosphere without changing the structure of the interview.
Recommended setup: choose the examiner you prefer and keep Soft Voice selected unless the environment is unusually noisy.
After the session, move from the interview into your Speaking report. Review the assessment, return to the conversation, and see the feedback in one place.
