I listen to most of his
I listen to most of his speaking . Those are great ,but it's clear that he use templates for his tasks. In fact, he uses the same template for both task 1 ,and task 2.
His tasks are helpful and I use his structures; however, I want to know if I use the same structure as bellow, will this reduce my speaking score.
My answer......for the following two main reasons.
First, reason 1. These days....
Reason 2 is another noticeable reason. These days....
Yes, he was using a template
Yes, he was using a template suggested by testbig:
first 1-2 sentences: introduction. my opinion: A or B. agree or disagree. about 5 seconds
First, reason 1 (1 sentence) + why reason 1 (some arguments. 1-2 sentence) + advantages of reason 1( 1-2 sentence). // about 20 seconds
Second, reason 2 (1 sentence) + why reason 2 (some arguments. 1-2 sentence) + advantages of reason 2 ( 1-2 sentence). // about 20 seconds
Conclusion: Don't need a conclusion. (you can have one only when you don't have something to talk about)
-----------------------------------------
An example (Eating at home or restaurant) for First:
First,reason 1 (1 sentence: Eating at home can save money) + why reason 1(some arguments. 1-2 sentences: I can prepare cheaper food from food market; I don't need to drive or take a bus to reach the restaurant;) + small conclusions ( 1-2 sentences: with the money I saved, I can buy a good book to read; I can use the money for a trip...).
-------------------
To simplify the pattern:
reason + why reason + advantages of reason
but the pattern is for you at the beginning, gradually you should use your own styles.

followed our pattern too, and he got 29 in speaking:

but you may not figure out obviously he used a template since he developed the pattern with his own styles.

Don't use the examples. They are duplicated to the reasons. Listen and follow this user:
