Hi, Teacher Luke here! 👋

When students see a Duolingo English Test speaking question, they often panic:

"How do I speak for 90 seconds without running out of ideas?" 😅

It is scary! But there’s a simple strategy that works every time—the PPF Method (Present, Past, Future).

This method helps you:

✅ Organize your answer clearly—so you don’t freeze mid-sentence.

✅ Use a variety of tenses—which improves your grammar and fluency scores.

✅ Keep talking smoothly for 60–90 seconds—without running out of ideas.

Here’s how it works:

🟢 Present – Start by introducing the topic and giving your opinion.

🟡 Past – Share an experience or example from the past to support your answer.

🔴 Future – Wrap up by predicting or imagining how the situation might change.

Sounds simple, right? But here’s the magic—this method helps you speak naturally for the full 90 seconds without running out of ideas!

The best part? You can use this structure for almost every DET speaking question.

I explained this method in a YouTube video (link at the end of this email!), but I’m teaching it LIVE in DET Ready VIP today—with practice, feedback, and bonus materials to help you master it.
