Говорене (Speaking practice)
Урокът учи как да се справим с устната част на изпита по английски. Упражняваме фрази за изразяване на мнение, съгласие и учтиво несъгласие, за сравняване на снимки и за предположения (might, could). Учим и стратегии: как да помолим за повторение на въпроса, как да спечелим време за мислене и как да опишем дума, която не помним. В разговор по двойки се редуваме и реагираме на идеите на партньора.
Какво да запомним
- Мнение: 'In my opinion,...', 'What do you think about it?'
- Съгласие: 'That's exactly what I think.' Учтиво несъгласие: 'I'm afraid I don't agree.'
- Сравнение на снимки: 'Both photos show..., whereas the first one...'
- Предположение: 'They might be on holiday.'
- Ако не си чул: 'Could you repeat the question, please?'
Пример
Ако не помниш думата 'ladder', можеш да кажеш: 'It's a thing you climb to reach a high place.' (Описваш я с други думи.)
