Speaking part 3:

Tips:

- This section is all about collaboration with your partner. You will need to work together as a team.

- Avoid monologues - aim to be interactive with your partner as much as possible

- Keep a healthy balance between offering your opinion and suggestions as well as asking for theirs.

- Non-verbal skills are just as important in this exercise. Show you are listening and engaged with your partner while they are talking by looking at their face or nodding your head.

- Keep the question in mind. Avoid getting too far off topic, and be sure to answer the question fully and completely.

Questions:

1. What might people have to consider when making these decisions:

(write the following list on the board)

1. Choosing a university

2. Starting a family

3. Moving to another country

4. Getting married

5. Finding a job

How can these things affect the experience of working in a team together? (2 minutes)

Now decide in which of these situations is it most important to make the right decision. (1 minute)

15mins: Review: Relative clauses

Relative clauses provide additional information about a noun referred to in the main clause.

Defining relative clauses specify which (or which type of) person of thing we mean. This is essential information!

Non-defining relative clauses simply add extra information about a noun. This information is non-essential and can be removed without disrupting the integrity of the sentence.

The formula is: Relative pronoun + subject + verb.

Relative clauses should go as close as possible to the noun that they refer to.

There are just a few of the 'wireless telegraphs' that the factory produced left in the world.

Many relative clauses will begin with a relative pronoun.

For people, use 'who' or 'whom'. 'That' can be used informally.

- The story of radio probability begins with Heinrich Hertz, who was the first to produce radio waves in a laboratory.

- Augusto Righi, who Marconi respected greatly, guided his research. (Inf.)

*Note: In this case, you could use 'whom' to be more formal. 'Whom is usually reserved for very formal styles, and mostly seen in writing.

For animals or things, use 'that' or 'which'

- The dog that was wearing a red collar is the one I want to adopt!

Defining relative clause (subject pronoun):

The invention that made this possible was the vacuum tube.

*Note: Use which to be more formal

Defining relative clause (object pronoun):

The model that you can see in case 1 shows how this works.

Non-defining relative clause (subject and object pronoun):

Marconi opened a 'wireless telegraph' factory in England, which employed around 50 people.

Marconi's 'wireless telegraph' factory, which he set up in England, employed around 50 people.

Other words that can begin a relative clause: When (to discuss a time), during which, in which, the reason why, whose name, whose purpose, of which.

*Ask students to write some example relative clauses beginning with these words and phrases.
