GCSE exam strategy

In speaking tasks, don’t worry if you don’t know the exact word you are looking for. You can just describe it or make up an answer using the language you know. Rather than try to think of an exact translation for something where there might not even be an equivalent (for example “cottage pie”) describe it and give the ingredients (Gehacktes mit Kartoffelpüree).
