speaking

In this lesson we look at small talk. The ability to make ’small talk’ is highly valued by English students. Small talk gets friendships started and ‘breaks the ice’ before important business meetings and other events.

When setting the style for a speech, determine who your audience is, decide on a suitable tone and determine whether or not you’re arguing for or against the topic.

When preparing a speech, research important facts or statistics to capture the attention of the audience, and practice speaking in front of people to improve your delivery.
