Now on to today’s lecture… The Final Exam Review

Some Helpful Tips for Speaking 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Body language  look confident, have good posture Eye contact  look around the room and at the people Speak clearly be careful how you say letters like “r”, “l” and “f”. Avoid monotone!!! Talking speed  not too fast, not too slow Watch punctuation  take short pauses at the end of sentences or important parts 7. Volume  speak so that the last row of students can hear you 8. Know your voice  use feeling in your voice 9. Look smart and honest 10. Practice, practice, practice!!!

HOW we speak WHAT we say is important but also HOW we say it. Things to remember when talking: * Intonation * Tone * Volume * Stressing words * Pauses * Fluency * Speed

Intonation

Your voice is like a rollercoaster it goes up and down when you talk. Monotone = no intonation UP ENDING  excitement  question  surprise

DOWN ENDING  fact  statement

Intonation Change When we speak, our intonation is ALWAYS going up and done, but when we ask questions, when does it go up and down???

Do you like kimchi? What is your favourite food? How should the intonation at the end of these questions go? Should the intonation the same or different?

The Rise and Fall of Intonation YES/NO questions = intonation goes up at the end. Other questions = intonation goes down at the end. Try these questions … how should the intonation go? • What is your favourite kind of ice cream? • Do you always eat rice? • Are apples your favourite fruit? • What kind of food do you really dislike? • Where do you eat lunch? • Do you like sushi?

What to Stress

Stressing different words in a sentence or question greatly changes the meaning of what is being said. I can read and write in English. I can read and write in English. I can read and write in English. She was so pretty. She was so pretty. She was so pretty. She was so pretty.

Nice to Meet You Adam: Hi. My name’s Adam. What’s your name? Kate: Hi, Adam. My name’s Kate. Adam: So, where are you from, Kate? Kate: I’m from Toronto. How about you? Adam: I’m from San Diego, California.

Punctuation Differences You are cute. You are cute! You are cute?

You’re not so cute, but not ugly. You are very cute. You think you are cute but I don’t think you are.

That’s Bobby. That’s Bobby! That’s Bobby? That’s Bobby?!

He’s my brother. He’s a very famous actor. Yes, he’s the new student. He looks so different now.

Statements with “be” I’m a student. You’re from Mexico. He’s from Korea. She’s from Canada. We’re students. They’re from the US.

I am = I’m you are = you’re he is = he’s she is = she’s we are = we’re they are = they’re

I’m not a teacher. He isn’t from China. They aren’t teachers.

I’m a student. He’s from the US. They’re students.

Possessive Adjectives

my your his her our their

is not = isn’t are not = aren’t

Questions with “be” Are you a student? Is he a teacher? Is she an artist? Are you actors? Are they doctors? Who’s that? What’s your name? Where are you from? How are you? How old are you?

Yes, I am. Yes, he is. Yes, she is. Yes, we are. Yes, they are.

No, I’m not. No, he isn’t. No, she isn’t. No, we aren’t. No, they aren’t.

Who is  Who’s What is  What’s

YOUR Personal Information Personal information is what makes you different than another person. Information about you that is just yours. It includes things like… … your name … where you were born … address (home and email) … status (single, married, divorced) … age … job title … telephone number … where you go to school/work
