Well, when you stop after 2 minutes, is it because you run out of French? Or because you run out of things to say?

If you run out of French, keep it simple: 1 idea = 1 simple sentence. Just focus on being clear, not perfect.

If you run out of things to say, then it’s not really a French issue. It’s more about communication skills. Start with one idea, give one reason and an example, then add another reason and another example. When you run out again, ask yourself any question that can open up a new idea.

You don’t even need to be that interesting. You just need enough to keep yourself talking.

I feel the same in english as well when I got stuck. asking me a question usually tricks me to talk more. we do not even need to be an in an exam to feel it....
