CONVERSATION (Leisure/Home life/ Education and work)- LESSON 4

This PowerPoint contains 14 slides (right click the link and select "Save Target As...")

This PowerPoint can be teacher lead or the students can use it alone on their own computers.

The verbs are highlighted as they are key to a good sentence structure
The students can listen to the question and the answer on each slide by clicking on the symbol-

Slides 2-4: Leisure -1 question answered on each slide. Tips on how to structure a possible answer and speak as much French as possible on the day.

Slides 5-7: home life- 1 question answered on each slide. Tips on how to structure a possible answer and speak as much French as possible on the day.

Slides 8-10: Education/work -1 question answered on each slide. Tips on how to structure a possible answer and speak as much French as possible on the day.

Slide 11: Last few tips-recap of the importance of structuring an answer in order to remember it better under exam conditions.

Slide 12: opinions- Students tend to justify all comments with ‘c’est intéressant’. These are just a few more the students can use and that are not necessarily more difficult!

Slide 13- Hyperlink to the speaking booklet- The students can work/learn/revise from this booklet as it is very simplified and it has proved very successful with my lower ability students. This is a printable resource.

Slide 14- The last slide has hyperlinks to useful websites.
