NA1: You are invited to record yourselves speaking about ONE of the themes below and then send your work to me for assessment. Your monologue should be about 3 - 4 minutes in length. I shall be listening out for the following characteristics:
- clear organisation and structure, and an appropriate variety of discourse markers;
- vocabulary that is varied, concise and appropriate to the task;
- pronunciation that is correct and intonation that is appropriate;
- a fluent discourse with appropriate pauses;
- a variety of grammatical structures appropriate to the advanced level;
- an awareness of "audience".
Your writing task from Unit 3 is expressing your opinion about climate change. Now let's literally hear your opinion on one of these topics:
- Men are from Mars, women are from Venus
- It's better to travel than to arrive
- Education is becoming less important
- Any form of stereotyping is destructive
- Rich countries should help poor countries
- Television has made us a nation of watchers, not doers
- Music is the poetry of the air
- Children are our most valuable resource
New deadline for this assignment is Friday 13th January on the understanding that I cannot guarantee feedback before the January "prueba de dominio" exams. Importantly, do NOT WRITE OUT your work in order to read it as if it were a text from a book. This is supposed to be a spontaneous activity as well as constructive preparation for the oral exams. So take five minutes to prepare your ideas in note form and then start recording. A clear introduction and conclusion are essential. Do it quickly but efficiently.
