First, you will be asked to describe a place, event, person or activity from your personal experience.

Task 1: Independent Speaking (Describe, Opinion):

 

First, you will be asked to describe a place, event, person or activity from your personal experience.

 

Recall some of the most important and influential events and people of your life. Write out a detailed descriptive paragraph about each of them. Use words that convey a lot of information. The listener should be able to see, feel, hear, smell and taste your experience. For example, instead of saying "I went to boarding school for 3 years" you could say "I patiently endured that outdated boarding school for three wretched years". The second sentence helps the reader imagine what your experience was like.

 

Use active, punchy, descriptive verbs:

walk – march, trudge, dawdle, skip, limp, swagger, shuffle

love – cherish, value, admire, respect, esteem, fall for, enjoy

teach – mentor, prepare, guide, instill, enlighten, inform, introduce

 

Try using adverbs to dress up plain verbs:

E.g 1 I looked up at her expectantly every time she called my name in class.

E.g 2 She walked heavily towards me with tears in her eyes.

E.g 3 He waved his arms crazily for me to stop but I ignored him.

 

Choose adjectives that convey meaning about what you are describing:

good – exemplary, reputable, delectable, exhilarating, luscious, amusing, agreeable

interesting – engaging, fascinating, intriguing, provocative, odd, astounding, striking

important – meaningful, momentous, decisive, fateful, exceptional, crucial, eminent

 

Next you must give reasons why it is important to you, or how it has influenced you, or why you enjoyed it. Again, use highly descriptive words that explain your point of view in a few short phrases. Choose examples that illustrate how an event made you feel, or why a person continues to influence your decisions, or the ways that a place informed your early life. Make sure you have included enough information so that the listener can understand your point of view easily.

 

Task 2: Independent Speaking (Choose, Opinion):

 

You will be presented with two possible actions, situations or opinions. You must choose the one you think is preferable or more justified.

 

Make your choice very clear. Use phrases such as:

In my opinion...

It''s clear to me that the best action to take is...

I believe that...

After considering the options, I conclude that...

I agree with...

 

There is no right or wrong answer, but there are only three ways to answer this question.

E.g 1. I choose action, situation or opinion A because...

E.g 2. I choose action, situation or opinion B because...

E.g 3. I think A would work in certain circumstances, and B would work in certain circumstances, because...

 

Now that you''ve made your choice clear, give reasons for it.

Support your opinion with examples from your personal experience. Give detailed information so the listener can easily understand why you have chosen to include this particular example.

Give reasons or justifications for your opinion. Imagine you are debating this point with an opponent and you must persuade them that you are right. In this part, simple words that get right to the point work well. Here are some examples of wordiness to avoid and ways to simplify them.

 

quite elegant – splendid

extremely upset – irate

past history – history

personal opinion – opinion

due to the fact that – because

in the event that – if

come to the conclusion that – conclude

 

Task 3: Integrated Speaking: Campus Related (Read, Listen, Explain)

 

First you will read a campus related article, bulletin or letter which presents two reasons for or against a proposal.

Identify exactly what the proposal is. If you don''t have the facts straight you won''t be able to speak about it.

Identify if the reading contains the reasons for or the reasons against the proposal.

 

Next you will listen to one or two speakers discussing the proposal with strong opinions for or against the proposal.

 

Key words to listen for include:

FOR

"That absolutely makes sense to me."

FOR

"That sounds good."

FOR

"I totally agree."
