Step 2 : Vocabulary

The next step in the one-minute preparation is to write down as many examples of uncommon vocabulary as

�� 1:IJ�$JtB�r�@��1it ffliP]7[o

possible. The vocabulary must be directly related to the topic.

l!@ 1P]7[!.I6\ffl EJijS'lLaf�:tll�o

A good method is to ask the following question:

�l'M1}tt::m:rOJ EJ B rOO�rOJ

"Can this word be used for many other topics?" If the

J! : ":i!1'-iPJit]l'.( ffl:t£;Jtflt!.�mmIlij?"

answer is .. Yes" then that word is NOT directly related to

�Il*@]�:m:ff��, n��:i!1'-iPJ�

the topic.

Ask the question: "Can this word be used for many other topics?" Topic-related words are: tourism

topics , eg, interesting (this word could be used for almost

The other words are not directly related to the

,

This is one of the most important considerations for

J!�m= $5t�i! 9=t .:m:� a<J

your Part Two talk. Most candidates completely ignore this

��.�Z-o�$��7

aspect. Different Part Two topic cards require different

��nOOD��agm=$5ti!m��

grammar. Look at the following topics and think about the

��m��*o ••�OOag�a£

required grammar content for each.

�-�4ij:--t-�aagi:gt!�*o

Describe an object you use every day. Describe a vehicle that you would like to own. Describe a happy event in your life. In Part Two, there are 3 basic tense requirements: some

m=$5tlE, �=-t-�*agBt�

topics need mostly present tenses; others need past tenses.

�*: -@mm'±��JiH�.1±Elt;

others need conditional tenses.

�-@��mM��;��-@m� m�{tt'P]at�o �#ma-FBt. *IjJEJim@�-#

When you look at your topic card, decide which tenses you need to use.

Bt�o

Example:

1. Describe an activity you enjoyed in an English lesson. (Mostly past tenses) eg: The teacher asked us to pretend ... 2. Describe a place in a city that you know well. (Mostly present tenses) eg: This place is quite special because it has... 3. Describe a vehicle which you would like to own. (Mostly conditional tenses and some present tenses for describing)

.

eg: If I had a helicopter I would be able to... Helicopters are an expensive luxury.

Producing a Good Quality Part'Two Talk ..'L...... .

This strategy focuses on the fluency aspect of the

;i! -� � � ft x.t i5f 7t � !JE 'f1 xq

marking system. Earlier in this book we concluded that

�m�8��.*o ftm��'f10000

linking

words

and

linking phrases

can increase

your

"Fluency" score-this strategy is based on producing good quality linking structures in your two-minute talk and combines these with complex sentence structures.

Describe a

span that you like playing or watching.

You should say:

What the sport is

How often you play / watch it Why you l ike

Whether it is popular in your country.

The first thing to notice is that all topic cards have one thing in common. Look carefully at the

4 questions. Look

iq:$ AiA:1il;i!�[l91'rilJ»!o ff�

carefully-they are not questions; they are in fact a single clause or part of a sentence (statement). This fact is true for

��fIlI.�fllf&*��1t�IOJ»! � /IJ-F..t. 't if] 1X fS[�if! l'�'PJ 1!X: if/pJ

Most people think that these are

4 prompts). Take the first one for example: "What

probably spend almost one minute producing the complex linking phrases.

Now look at the second prompt:

J.ruf£##m=�tlm :

"And so finally then, if I have time, in answer to the question of whether it is popular in my country, really I should mention that... " So the fmal structure (without content) might look like this: .

A. Opening phrase + the first prompt fron1 card

Ok then, I guess I could start offby answering who the person is... Alright then, in response to the frrst question of who the person is... So to begin with, in reply to the initial point of who the person is... Ok, I'll start,the ball rolling by touching on the matter of who the person is ... Right then, I'd like to get cracking by pointing out who the person is... So I suppose I should commence with the first aspect which is who the person is ... Initially then, I'd like to get started by looking at who the person is ... So, to start with I'll talk about who the person is... So I guess I could kick off by stating who the person is... Ok so my first point here would obviously be who the person is... Before you add your content sentence, you need to add another linking phrase:

...and the one I'd pick is... So your opening sentence might be: "Ok, I'll start the ball rolling by touching, on the matterof who.t11e person is, and I'd have to go for Jackie. Chan." It would be a good idea to devel�p this first sentence further using a simple linking structure:

Before you explain this point you need to add a second linking phrase (similar to your first point). ... and what I'd like to add here is that...
