B2- Speaking strategies practice: How to prepare your outline to deliver a monologue

Last Wednesday we agreed on me leaving a post on the blog to upload the speaking sessions you're having with the language assistant teacher on Wednesdays.
Please follow the steps below to prepare and record your speaking.

First, read the following instructions:

SPEAKING SKILL TIPS:
To prepare your monologue think about the following points:

1. Brainstorm vocabulary related to the card using bubble maps, small mind maps,etc.
2. Write a bare bones outline.
3. Add information to your bare bones outline. To do so, you'll  need to:

• Organize ideas starting with a topic sentence and add supporting sentences o it.
• Connect your ideas logically using connectors.
• Make sure you conclude your monologue within the time limit (around 4 minutes).

HOW TO PREPARE AND UPLOAD YOUR TASK:
Pre-task: Reading outline samples.
1. Here's an outline sample Kathryn has prepared for you on last year's card model 8A. Please read them through them.
