I was always wondering why are we allowed a very short time for our responses in the speaking tasks.
In my opinion it really is necessary to have a short time for preparation (When you normally speak you can't take much time to think of a response) but why have so short time for speaking ( only 45-60 seconds) I mean what if someone wants to say and explain his position and opinion more.
This really annoys me and I don't get it. Can someone please answer my question and give me an explanation?
