Speaking Workshop

24 Abril 2019, 12:00 • Hilda Alexandra Prazeres Eusebio

Today TP3 carried out the first part of the Speaking Workshop.  It wasn't that great with three students, but we did our best!

First exercise: Speak Dating You’re looking for the love of your life, right?

Here’s what you’re going to do:

• Each person will be given a letter ‘A’ or ‘B’; 
• All of the ‘A’s will remain seated; 
• All of the ‘B’s will rotate clockwise; 
• Each conversation will last five minutes; 
• Each of you will have, therefore, about 2.5 minutes to provide the listener with the following information: 
• Your name 
• Where you’re from; 
• What you do for a living or what you’re doing at the moment; 
• What your goals are for your future in terms of family, career, location. 
• What your qualities are and what you feel you have to offer someone; 
• What you look for in the perfect partner; 
• What you’re willing to compromise on; 
• Your ‘dealbreakers’ (i.e. what you simply will not accept in someone). 

• You’re going to go around the art gallery in pairs. 
• Each time you approach a painting, you will discuss the following with your partner: 
• What you think the painting is about or what you think is happening in it; 
• Anything you may know about the artist; 
• What the painting makes you feel and why; 
• What it reminds you of or makes you think of; 
• Anything else the painting/photo inspires you to talk about. 
• You have 15 minutes to see the whole gallery. 
• You do not have to see all of the images or spend the same amount of time with each image. 
• You are free to do exactly as you would in a real gallery.
