Speaking- analysis and suggestions

Goals for today's lesson

  • To analyse the speaking task "plan a class party"
  • To express opinions and feelings. To agree and disagree. To link.
  • To see other examples of speaking
On Friday I want to go through your speaking exercise in the groups who did it.

Today we will listen to some students who did the exercise.

Listen and then discuss what they could have done to improve their conversations.

We have already spoken about the importance of expressing opinions and feelings.  Give examples of suitable phrases.

In general it is very important to link your conversation. HERE are some words and expressions to think about.

We will finish off with 2 youtube clips.

The first one is from a beauty contest in the USA.
Please help the young lady to say something sensible! 



The last clip is of 2 girls doing the Cambridge first exam (about the same level as 9th grade speaking)



What do you think is good or less good about their speaking? We will concentrate on the later tasks. You can even read the examiner's comments.

Good luck next week!
