Tips

Read an article and/or listen to a talk on an issue that interests you (for example, the tourism industry). Prepare an outline for a one-minute opinion speech about the article or talk. Your outline should include your opinion, two points to support your opinion and one detail/reason to support each point.

– Take notes or create lists of important points on the listening and reading material.

– Do separate oral summaries of the information in the listening and reading material. Practice paraphrasing using different words and grammatical structures.

– Combine the information from the reading and listening material and explain in writing how they relate. Later, practice explaining it orally using only your notes for reference.
