HOW TO PREPARE YOURSELF FOR CONVERSATIONS

BEFORE conversations

You need to know what you want to talk about
If you are lacking ideas for your conversations, here is a list of potential suggestions
  • For topics and questions you can visit the pages below 
WEBSITE 1
WEBSITE 2
You can
  • watch one of 60sec docs - HERE 
  • ​prepare a picture or a set of pictures or even your own pictures to talk about
  • find quotations that you like or dislike; for example HERE
  • read famous people life stories, you can have a look HERE
  • read the news for current events 
  • focus on recent events from your life- books you've read, movies you've watched, places you've visited, issues you've discussed with friends and family.

You can also take more lexical approach and write down 10 words or expressions that you wish to use during your conversations and just set a general category like, for example FOOD.

DURING CONVERSATIONS

It's a good idea to monitor your progress or areas you still need to work on. You can try the following
  • write down words that you want to use but don't know or don't remember them - not a lot; let's say 5 max
  • pay attention to your repetitions and try to write at least one synonym of the often used words

AFTER CONVERSATIONS

If there're some new words; put them into Quizlet- doesn't matter if there are only two. Have a set called conversations and update it after each meeting. Honestly, it's not overwhelming but you can find it quite useful in the future
