Group №13 Individual work on the practice of improving Speaking skills

First, use an opening phrase:

Well in actual fact, if I think about it, I guess that in many ways…

Ok, well in reality, I suppose that to some extent…
Alright, I guess that on the one hand…
Well certainly in some ways…


Now make your first statement (e.g, it’s fairly important…)
Develop the first statement using a linking structure:

… especially when you consider that…

…particularly if you think about the point that…
…especially with regard to the point that…
…and this is definitely the case with…


Now you need to introduce your “No” answer, first use a linking phrase:

But you also have to understand that…

Even so, you could also say that…
At the same time you could say that…


After describing your “No” answer, you can “round-off” the answer with one of the following phrases:

So all in all I guess my answer would have to be yes and no.

So on the whole I suppose the answer has to be yes and no.
So all things considered I guess the answer is both yes and no.
So in the main, I suppose the answer is probably yes and no.
Sample questions:
Is crime a problem in your country?
Do people in your country often keep pets?
Is it always good to be ambitious?
Do many people work on farms in your country?
Is food expensive in your country?
Is public transport expensive in your country?
Do you think that it is important to spend time alone?


Some different “Yes/No questions”:

Is watching TV a popular activity in your country?

Can you play a musical instrument?
Are friends important to you?

With these questions, it may be difficult to answer both yes and no. it is probably much easier to give a “yes” answer. Use the structures given to introduce your “yes” idea then develop this single idea with one or two reasons or details.
