Part 1 questions are supposed to be easy, and the examiner must get through
all of the questions in 5 minutes or less. That's only about 30 seconds per
question. If you try to give long answers, the examiner will interrupt you. My
advice is to keep Part 1 answers very simple:
Do you prefer home-cooked food or food from restaurants? I prefer home-cooked food because I think it's healthier and you know
exactly what you're eating. I also enjoy cooking for family and friends.
You don't need to say any more than this. Just answer the question with a full
sentence, give a reason, and maybe add one extra piece of information. Then
stop speaking. Stop with confidence and look at the examiner, ready for the next question.
