VI. Textbook Activity

Collect in the papers (sheets, texts, word lists, handouts, tests), please.

The rest of you are the audience.

Give a synonym for 'rushed'. (What is a synonym for 'huge'?)

Yes, you've got it You've got the idea.

What you said was perfectly all right.

You didn't make a single mistake.

That's exactly the point.

You can't use that word here.

You missed the verb out.

You forgot the preposition. Mind the preposition.

You used the wrong tense.

You misunderstood the instructions.

Once again, but remember the word order.

Try not to mix these two words up.

They're spelt the same, but pronounced differently.

It wasn't pronounced correctly. The word is accented on the second syllable.

Be careful with the 'sh'-sound.

Again please, but watch your pronunciation.

X. Conversation

These phrases help to keep the conversation moving:

Don't you think, though, that...

I'm not sure what you mean.

Have you got anything to add (to what Nick said)?

Does anybody share Nick's opinion (views)?
