Oral English 1: Lesson 7

5/26/2015

Hi everyone,

We had a busier lesson than usual, especially since we started our presentation preparation today.

Asking for and Giving Examples:
Before our discussions, we had a short activity on how to ask for and give examples. It's important to give detailed information when you give an opinion, so you can give examples to support it.

To ask for examples, you can use these questions:

Can you give me an example?
Like what, for example?
Can you expand on that?

To give examples, you can use these expressions:

For example, ... / For instance, ....
One example is...
Let me give you an example.
Off the top of my head, ...

Discussions:
For next week's discussions, remember these points:

NO READING. Too many discussion leaders were reading their summary and opinion sections of their worksheets. You cannot read your worksheet to your group. You need to know this information before our lesson, so you should practice at home. During your summary and opinion, you also have to checking understanding 4-5 times.
Conversational Style. Many discussions were less than 10 minutes today. This was because group leaders did not use conversational style. In all of your discussions, group leaders and group members have to ask questions and give comments on each others' opinions. Please review the questions you can ask to develop your conversational style from our past lessons.

Homework:
1. Discussion Preparation

Group leaders need to email me their presentation topic by Monday, June 1 by 6:00pm.
