Question category Person Object Place Activity Experience 1 minute preparation A simple list is probably faster and easier than a diagram or mind map. You need to decide on your topic as quickly as possible. Then spend most of your time making notes. Try to write at least one key idea for each part of the question. Don't write sentences, and don't waste time erasing "mistakes". Try to use a topic you have already prepared. Forget about grammar. Focus on answering the question. Finally, fast preparation is a skill that you can practise. Describe a restaurant that you enjoyed going to.
