Speaking tipsHere you have some useful functional language to use

when you take your Oral Test!

SUGGESTIONS Shall we…? Let’s … We could… I think we could... Why don’t we....? Would you like to...? What about you?

I think it’s a good idea that we...

What do you suggest?

What about… -ing...? Why don’t we ...

instead? We’d better (not) do

this/that.

GIVING OPINION I think... In my opinion ... I think I prefer... We could... Well, that’s a good

idea! Ok, I think you’re right. I’m not sure, really. That sounds good,

better, interesting, great, boring...

Let’s do that! That’s fine for me. I agree with you I’m sorry, I don’t

agree with you. All right! I don’t think that’s a

good idea. I’d rather...

ASKING FOR OPINION

What do you think? What about you? What’s your opinion about …? Do you agree with me? Don’t you think I am right? Do you think that’s really the point? Do you think that’s really a good

idea?

SHOWING YOUR INTEREST Really? Well... Ok... All right... I see... ECHO QUESTIONS:Do you? /Are you?/ Did

you?

What??!! You must be joking! I can’t believe it,

really? Are you pulling my

leg? And then...? What

happened? And how did you

feel?

TRYING TO EXPLAIN YOURSELF Well... Let me think... It’s what you do/ feel when you are ... This is a difficult question for me to

answer.. Well I suppose it depends ON.. I don’t know the word in English but it’s

similar to/ like... Sorry, I could’t understand what you

said. Can you say that again?

OTHER IDEAS Try to use the tenses correctly:If you are speaking about a past event... USE THE PAST TENSES!If you are speaking about your

experiences.. USE THE PRESENT PERFECTIf you are talking about hypothetical

situations...USE THE 2ND CONDITIONAL

And...LAST, BUT NOT LEAST!

Your test will be praised especially if you can use the language studied in class this year, that is, the GRAMMAR and the VOCABULARY seen during the course!

Good Luck!
