Lesson 1: Focus on speaking

• Engels
• MBO
• Studiejaar 3

Would you rather run incredibly fast or jump incredibly high?
(Please,have your verbal explanation ready)

Goals 

• Practise our speaking skills
• Vocabulary
• Grammar: past tense 

Describe what you see.

On the next slide you will see a picture. 

First, your teacher will give you one minute to write down as many words that have something to do with that picture (yes, you can work together with a partner).
Next, you have to talk about that picture for one minute. Your partner will cross out the words that you've used. 

Evaluate: were you able to speak for one minute?
If not, what do you need to be able to fulfill the assignment?

How to do this? 

1. Describe what you see, name colours, objects, people, movement etc.

2. Use words to indicate direction: on the top left/right, at the bottom left/right, in the middle/centre, 

3. Stuck? Talk about your opinion/experience/impression of the subject given. 

4. Think about the correct tenses! 

What do you see?
