During the interview
Make eye contact with the examiner. Although theoretically you can speak great English with your head down, the fact is you may not seem as confident. Although there is no mark for confidence, you need to present yourself in as positive way as possible.
Make sure you understand the examiner and are able to communicate without grammar mistakes.
Consider this part of the test as meeting someone for the first time and telling him about yourself. Try to be relaxed and keep conversation going.
Speak clearly and don’t worry about your accent. Everyone has an accent when they speak English. The important point is that you enunciate the best you can so the examiner can understand you. Rehearse in advance to overcome any obvious problems. If you make a mistake, don’t worry, just correct yourself and keep going.
If the examiner asked you questions about your home town, neighborhood, or city; use good words about your home town, etc. to impress the examiner. Do not use negative expressions to talk about your country or city.
If you express all bad things always when you are talking, the examiner won’t be impressed by your words unless you are asked to explain the problems.
