Well done everyone on a very good first round of practice :)

Pointers to remember:

speak at an even pace, not too fast and not too slow

idioms can be useful but be sure that they are 100% suited to the topic

stick to the same tense in one sentence, if you're speaking in the present it's important to keep all words in the present

when asked about daily habits use a unit of time instead of adverbs of frequency

the question "Are you ready?" needs verb be - "Yes, I am" or "No, I'm not"

the question "Do you like pizza?" needs auxiliary verb do - "Yes, I do" or "No, I don't"
