Speaking Part 1 – Topic (8 minutes)

 

 

Part 1 consists of a 4-minute presentation on a topic of your choosing followed by a 4-minute conversation on your topic:

 

Remember:

 

  • Choose a topic that interest you
  • Choose a topic that has some depth, that you can analyse, not something descriptive
  • Structure – a clear argument with intro and conclusion
  • Formal (but not too formal)
  • Don’t memorise too much, it can sound unnatural

 

 

In the discussion – ask questions (What do you think? Do you agree? etc)

 

 

 

Speaking Part 2 – Collaborative task (4 minutes)

 

 

 

The teacher’s prompt:

 

I think under 18s should be banned from social media.

 

 

In this task you need to follow the next strategies: react, paraphrase, ask, opinion

 

Let’s see some examples:

 

React with expressions:

  • Sounds right
  • That’s a strong opinion
  • I don’t know about that

 

Paraphrase:

  • So, you’re saying…
  • You mean…
  • Are you saying…

 

Ask questions:

  • Why do you think…?
  • What makes you say…?
  • Have you considered…?

 

Give your opinion:

  • If you ask me,…
  • It seems to me that…
  • In my view…

 

Ask a questions once you’ve given your opinion:

  • What do you think?
  • Do you agree?
  • Do you see what I mean?
