These questions and talking points were prepared for a 1-on-1 speaking test/conversation practice taking place near the end of the academic year. It uses grammar from the New Horizons 3 textbook.
Inform students beforehand that there will be six questions in three minutes, then a seventh question: they have to ask the ALT a question. This should use grammar from the past year e.g. not simply "what sport do you like?"
Take notes on a class roll during the conversation. Discuss interesting results and recurring mistakes with your JTE.
- How long have you lived in {city/town/village}?
- What makes you happy?
- What is difficult for you to do?
- Tell me what you do on Sundays.
- Name a city that you want to go to.
- If you had a job, what would you be? OR If you were an adult, what would you do?
- Now: you can ask me a question.
