We’ll then look at an example question and how to structure and answer it.
We will finish part 1 with a Kahoot to learn useful phrases for report writing.
In part 2 we will focus on practice for part 2 of the speaking exam (pages 24-25). We will look at exercises 2 and 7 to revise the vocabulary connected to the photos, and complete the sentences in exercise 4 which show comparison and speculation. We will also look at exercises 4 and 5 on page 208.
Students will then work in pairs to practice answering the questions on pages 24-25.
