Say what you really think about the topic and explain why you think that. Listen to what your partner says and say if you agree or disagree. Make sure you know the language for agreeing and disagreeing. Be polite if you disagree. Ask your partner what he/she thinks. * Use every second you are given to do the task. Finish the discussion by summarizing what you have spoken about. Don'ts: Avoiding silence and getting time to think In English-speaking cultures we avoid long silences or pauses. We look at the other person and show that we are listening to their turn. We also indicate when we want to speak and use expressions to keep our turn. So... Don't only give your own opinion but also respond to your partner. Don't worry if you don't agree with your partner. That's fine! Don't talk about things that are not relevant to the topic. Don't let the discussion stop. Keep it going! Erm... Well... Let me think... Taking turns-language support In an exam you have to take turns with your partner because you both need to talk. Make sure you speak for long enough and that your turn isn't too short. The following expressions will help you. Take turns You may start I'll go first if that's OK for you. Shall I go first? Would you like to begin? Make your turn longer by giving examples What I mean is... So, in other words... For example,... Such as... Stating your opinion - In my opinion/view, ... -Well, I'd say... - It's a fact that... - The way I see it, ... - Personally, I think... - If you ask me, -I'm absolutely convinced that - On the whole, I think think-As -As I see it, ... Agreeing -I quite agree... That's a good point... -Quite!/Exactly!/Precisely! -Certainly!/Definitely! - You're quite right. / That's right. - I hadn't thought of that. Disagreeing Polite disagreement - I'm afraid I don't quite agree there. - I'm not sure, really. - Do you really think so? - I'm not convinced that ... - As far as I'm concerned, ... - It seems to me that think/feel/reckon/believe... -I - First of all/To start with... -I'd like to point out that There can be no doubt that ... - Nobody will deny that.... -Well, I have my doubts about that. - It depends really.... - I'm wondering whether.. ther ... - That's just how I see it / feel about it. -I agree entirely/completely. You've got a good point there. -That's exactly how I see it. -Yes, indeed. - I'd go along with that. Strong disagreement - I'm sure that's wrong! -I doubt that very much. -That doesn't convince me at all. - I don't agree with you at all. - I disagree entirely. - It's not as simple as that. -The problem is that ... Asking for clarification -I'm sorry, but I don't understand/know what you mean by... - Could you give an example? - Could you explain that, please? -Can you prove that? I would be very interested in some data/examples that... Strategies you can use when you don't know a word If you don't know or can't remember an exact word-don't worry! There are lots of things you can do to communicate without saying the exact word. These are very useful strategies that even native speakers use a. Use general words If you can't remember the word "surgeon', you could say a more general word like 'doctor. b. Give examples If you don't know the word 'cutlery, you could give examples such spoon' "knife, fork and c. Use relative clauses to give a description It's a person who.../ thing that place where... If you don't know the word "briefcase", you could say "It's a thing that people use to carry papers to work. Signalling that you would like to say something - May I interrupt you? - Excuse me, I would like to add that... -An important aspect is missing here, namely ... - That illustrates perfectly what... - Can I just say/explain that...? - I would like to jump in here, to clarify that.... - I hope you don't mind me interrupting, but it is important to stress... Adding a point - Another thing is... - What's more.... - On top of that, ... - We must also consider .... - I would like to add that - Have you ever considered...? Buying time -Well, that is an interesting point. /I see what you mean. -I think the question we were discussing was... - You have given your opinion, however... - Why don't we see what X has to say about that? - Let's not forget to ... Summarizing your point of view or your main arguments -So, what shall we say? - The most important argument is.. - Finally, you can't deny that... - So, 1/we have come to the conclu sion that ... - There are more good reasons for ...than for an for... E - Let me just state again that it is vital to... - I have shown that ... / It has become clear that.... - In spite of everything we have heard from the other side... -To sum it up... - If we don't..., then... d. Describe the purpose or function (It's used to + infinitive / for + -ing) If you don't know the word 'scissors', you could say "They are used to cut paper' or 'They are used for cutting paper. This strategy works well with objects that have a clear use or function. e. Use synonyms (words that mean the same) If you don't know the word "tiny, you could say 'very small. This strategy works well with nouns and adjectives. f. Use antonyms (opposite words) If you don't know the word 'weak', you could say 'not strong. This strategy works well with adjectives. g. Use approximations (It's a kind of... / It's a sort of ...) If you don't know the word "bungalow, you could say "It's a kind of house' or 'It's a sort of house.
