Speaking

Since several of you would like to practice the speaking by way of Springdoo, here are a couple of tasks from the book.



For part 2 - picture C8:

Compare and contrast 2 or 3 of these situations, saying what significance the flowers might have for the people concerned.



The second question to the other person would be: Who do you think has taken the most care in choosing their flowers?



Picture C10:

Compare and contrast 2 or 3 of these pictures, saing what the people might be observing, and why.



Second short question: Who do you think is shoing the most interest in what they are observing?



Remember to hypothisise on what you see!



Also listen in to Splendid Speaking

You will get more than a few models. The speakers are doing tasks similar to that on the CAE and there are comments about their good points and what needs improvement. Note the second newest topic: speculating and hypothisising.



And don't forget flo-joe for exam practice. There you will also find flo-joe radio - which deals specifically with the exam.



Now here comes the next challenge - anyone willing to try Skype? This could be a valuable extra bit of practice with others.

It's easy to download and you don't need a camera - just a microphone is enough. Let me know if you want to try and we can arrange a time.
