Join other people around the world and practise speaking English for FREE!
This type of speaking club known as 'The BIG FREE English Speaking Club" is a little different from the traditional-topic-based speaking club that you might have attended. But, how I hear you ask yourself....
There is no host directing the conversation and asking the questions, but don't worry, you will still be guided. In this speaking club you will join a group of around 3-5 people and talk about what you see on the slides.
What is the topic? Well, the topic is called Real or Fake? and it works like this. You will join a group of 3-4 people in a room and discuss what you see on the slide. First, you will see a news headline like ' MAN DRINKS 100 CANS OF COCA-COLA A DAY ' and below that a very short piece of text that describes the news story behind that headline. You and your group then need to give your opinions on if you think this news story is Real or Fake? You should give your reasons why you think it is or isn't real and after hearing everyone's opinion, take a vote. After 5 minutes you will see if you guessed correctly as the answer will come on the screen.
After you see the answer, there will then be 3 questions for discussion which is in someway are connected to the news story, for example in the Coca-Cola story, one of the questions could be 'Can you tell the difference between the taste of Coca-Cola and Pepsi?' these questions should generate some interesting discussions - and a few laughs - among the people in your group and generate some nice-nature communication. Keep in mind when answering to not give one word answers. A brief explanation of your answer is a good idea, try not to go on a super-monologue sending your group mates asleep. Listen to the people in your group and ask follow up questions to their answers. Try to make it as natural as possible.
After another 5 minutes a new headline will show and you should repeat the process.
This speaking club will last for 60 minutes, but this doesn't mean you will be kicked off the call after 60 minutes, you will be allowed to stay and chat with the others who wish to stay in the main room.
The next Big FREE English Speaking Club is on: 3rd December 11am (Kyiv time)
This speaking club is open to anyone who is Intermediate and higher. You will try to be grouped with a similar level.
