    The document discusses different speaking activities and whether they are more focused on accuracy or fluency of language. It suggests that extending or continuing a dialog, reproducing a written dialog verbally, guessing a story behind a picture, and describing a picture to partners are activities aimed at fluency, while completing a questionnaire and inventing a conversation for characters are more focused on accuracy of language. Making a mini-speech and playing twenty questions are said to emphasize fluency through continuous speaking without difficulties.
