This video gives you some tips on the speaking part. Listen to it and highlight the most important parts, such as finding the way of expressing yourselves (don't get stuck, move on, paraphrase). A good balance between FLUENCY and ACCURACY is required, and I think that is what you need. Please, take your time to watch it! Hope you enjoy it! ;)
