Build your answer
- Name one thing you practised
- Describe what improved or felt difficult
- Choose one specific next action
Sentence starter
- This week I practised… I found… Next week I will…
Common pitfall
- Choose a realistic next step rather than a vague promise.
Illustrative example
- How did your practice week go?
- I completed three short sessions. My examples became clearer, but I rushed my endings. Next week I will pause before my final sentence.
- Use the structure with your own details; do not memorise this answer.
