and Active Listening stranger? Do you find it easy thinking of things to say or
questions to ask? Well, this podcast features a conversation
between two people who had never met before and who talked
for the first time together through Skype. We have Solange
from Brazil and Vukosava who is currently living in Portugal.
This was a 'getting to know you' opportunity and the focus was
on asking questions and showing interest in what the speaker
has said. As you listen decide how well Solange and Vukosava
managed to hold a natural and interesting conversation. In

particular, decide how well they ask questions and also if they
show interest in what the other has said. Finally, make a note
of their use of English, which we'll look at in the feedback
section. Let's listen to Solange and Vukosava.
This podcast features Jedrzej from Poland, who is aiming to
pass CPE (Certificate of Proficiency in English) offered by
Cambridge ESOL. This was our first meeting in Skype and the
session was a getting-to-know-you opportunity.An important
skill to use in a situation where you are trying to showcase
yourself or your English skills is the ability to give full answers
to questions, particularly when closed 'Yes/No' questions are
asked such as: 'Do you ...', 'Have you ...', 'Is it ...' , etc. To
CleanResponding to

Questions (1)
Speaking', which looks at strategies for answering questions
fully, in particular the use of examples to avoid replying
simply with 'Yes/No' answers.As you listen decide how well
Jedrzej managed to do this. Did he give full answers, even to
closed 'Yes/No' questions? Finally, make a note of Jedrzej's use
of English, which we'll look at in the feedback section. Let's
listen to Jedrzej. Apologies for the distortion at the end of the
recording, which was due to interference on Skype.
