share about
speaking? 1. I was an introvert as a child
2. I still have bad stage fright
3. I used to have terrible spoken Malay

"I can understand what people are

saying to me but I don't know what
to respond."

"I know what I want to say but I

don't know how to say it."

A Suitable Birthday Gift
Talk about a suitable birthday gift to buy for a friend.

You should say:

What the gift is
Where you would get it from
Why it is a suitable gift
If birthday celebrations are important for friendships
(Why/why not)
 Getting started
Sequence your ideas: To begin with / firstly / first of all ... Next...

Preference: Personally, I would ... / I would rather ...

Justifying your opinion: I say this because / My opinion is ... because

... / My reason for saying this is because ...

Overused phrases: Try saying:

Try to avoid
I think ... I feel that... repeating the same
And then ... I would say that...
phrases over and
It is because ... I believe that...
over
 Giving Genuine Responses
1. Use your words: VERBALISE IF YOU AGREE OR
NOT
2. Push - pull in a conversation

Instead of saying Try saying

I agree with you.
I don't agree with you.
Try to avoid repeating the
same phrases over and over
You're right about that/ That's
true / That's exactly how I feel
I don't think so / I'm afraid I don't
agree with you about that
I see what you're saying but...
That's a good point, but ...
 Common Errors
I'm agree [I am agree??] --> I agree
That's mean [That is mean??] --> That MEANS
Adding -s unnecessarily e.g. "I likes to watch Koreans
dramas and listens to K-pops songs"
Using "is it" as a question tag e.g. "You don't agree with
this, is it?"
Using "Last time" instead of "previously" or "before this"
Repeating the same phrases over and over "For
me...This is because...For example..."
 Help each other
Asking for clarification If you don't know the
word...
Could you repeat that please?
Try describing what it looks like,
I don't understand what you said
or what it is used for
What did you mean by ...?
Your partner can try guessing
Then you carry on with the
conversation

WHAT'S THE WORD?
 Who Am I?
Teacher chooses several students OR you can play with your friends.
They are given sticky notes to stick on their forehead. Each sticky note
has a noun on it, e.g. type of animal, name of a famous person (Don't
peek!)
The remaining students come and describe things related to the noun to
help the student with the sticky note answer the question "Who am I?"
 Stand Up For Fillers
1 person is given a topic to talk about for 1 minute.
They are given some time to prepare.
Every time the person who is speaking says "um, ah, so, like," one
student stands up.
This creates awareness about the types of words you use when you
speak.
Over time, you will use less fillers when you speak.
