Oral English 2: Lesson 6

Hi everyone,

What a beautiful day today! I hope you can enjoy the sunshine during your breaks.

Showing Interest:
Before our discussions, we had a short activity on how to show interest during a discussion. We need to show interest to let the speaker know that we are listening to him/her. You can use these expressions:

1. Fixed Expressions: I see, Ya/Yes, Uh-huh, Mm-mm
2. Suprise: Oh my God! Really? Wow!
3. Sympathy: Oh no! What a shame. That's to bad.
   

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

1. Follow-up Questions. Whenyour group leader or group member makes a comment. Ask a follow-up question. This question asks the speaker to give more information. 
   
2. Eye contact. Remember to make eye contact with each group member when you speak.
   

Homework:
1.  Discussion Preparation
2.  Blog Post #6
