If you forget 'thermometer', can you just say 'the thing used to check temperature' and carry on? How much description is enough? Thinking of practising with objects without saying their names.

For Part 2 practice, maybe keep a timer running and move to another relevant detail once the object is clear. No need to keep describing the same thing.

In the real Part 2 there is no guess to tell you it worked, so how do you decide the description was enough and move to the next detail?
