The Last Assignment - Speaking task

Describe a city

This is (probably) the last assignment for English this year - make sure you do it well!

You will talk about a city for 1-2 minutes and record your speech on Flipgrid

Describe a city (your hometown or another city)

Where is it located?

What is the climate like?

What is it famous for and what do you like about it?

Would you recommend for someone to visit this place? Why or why not?

Open Ended

List some topics you could talk about when you are describing the city (for example: transport).

Multiple Choice

Which option is better?

• When I talk about a topic for 1-2 minutes, I will start with an introduction and end with a conclusion

• For speaking, there is no need for an introduction or a conclusion. I will just talk about random things and stop after a minute or two.

We will watch part 1-2 (5 min.) of a video; we will pause after part 2 to practice.
