  • It can be hard. Reading widely and watching the news and current affairs shows can help with this.

  • That's true Parisa. Reading about a range of subjects and watching the news in English can help with this.

  • Exam stress can be difficult to deal with. I think that practising as much as possible with a range of different people is good to help you overcome this.

  • That's great advice Katalin. Reading can also help as you come across a range of different topics. Good luck!

  • Just make sure that they are relevant and on the same topic! And yes, don't stress when you don't receive any feedback. Good luck.

  • Planning is so important!

  • Sorry to hear that Samira, We had some issues with the Padlet due to the number of people posting. We have made some changes and they should be working better now. I'm sorry that you had issues. Good luck!

  • Practice can help Bruna. It is often hard to speak for 2 minutes when you first start practising but it will get easier with time!

  • That's right Gulnora!

  • Chunking is so important! It also helps the listener follow what we are saying. Without chunking, speech is too fast and can be confusing.
