Practice is the only thing that comes to mind. Unfortunately, I don't have a shortcut. Or just use the first idea that pops into your head? I had a question asking me about someone I'd like to meet and I just used Tiger Woods, because that scandal had recently broken out and he was the first person I could think of Smile

Tips for improve the TOEFL Speaking"

* Structure your response as a mini essay.
* Make sure your response has an introduction, a body and a conclusion.
* Use transition words to guide your listener in a logical, organized way.
* Use clear English in a confident, expressive way.
* Give two or three reasons to develop your response and to avoid going round and round only one point.
* Use verbs rather than nouns.
* Speak at an even pace.
* Say the endings of words fully.
