ORAL PRACTICE IN 4 STEPS
Prepare--Rehearse--Record--Upload your speech
Speak for 5-6 minutes on the topic 'Environment: Can you make a difference?' Read carefully the instructions and assessment citeria below. Your speech must be uploaded before Monday 3rd February.
Before you plan your speech, read and listen to different texts and learn the language you need to express your own ideas.You are given two texts on the topic below -just click on the pics.
*Prepare your speech thoroughly: look for information and the language you need to convey that information in English but DO NOT COPY -you will not get a good mark if you do so.
*Once you have the info and know how to say it, organise your speech in three parts -a short introduction, a body and a conclusion with your own position on the topic.
*Stay on topic: even if you mention something personal or examples, try not to digress.
REHEARSE
*Practise speaking with a watch: you need your speech to be within the time limits.
*Speak clearly: this is not spontaneous speech, it is prepared speech, but it has to sound as speech, NOT AS THE READING OF A TEXT.
*Avoid using slang: this is a school task so the register must be accordingly.
*Practise and practise until you feel confident.
RECORD
*Record yourself and name the file after yourself.
UPLOAD
*Upload your file before the deadline. Click here to upload it.
