The lesson plan for this is available in the mail I sent you.
You need to record this on a camera / ipad / tablet etc.
You are going to watch this after lunch.

When preparing their pitches I would like you to:
1. Encourage as much use of C1 level expressions as possible – the students have a hand-out from the EQUALS document which contains C1 level phrases. Please ask them to use these in their pitches. E.g. “I’m absolutely certain you will love our product”
2. Tell them they cannot refer to notes in their pitches. (Too late!)
Just like in Dragon’s Den you need 4 students to be the dragons. Each student will have a chance to be a dragon. Again when asking questions to the ‘inventors’ I’d like you Declan to ask them to incorporate C1 level expressions into their questions. E.g. “Suppose I invested in your product, what would you do with the money?”
The pitches and questions and investment decisions should take about 15 minutes each.
I always like to get teachers to think "outside the box."
So, let's put the theory to the test...
A key resource for you...here.

@iskander "designed from our company" should be "designed by our company"
ReplyDelete@nellyson missed the "s" sound in functions
@ lee
ReplyDeletehe said..'more easier' but he should say 'easier'.
@ edwin
mispronunciation of the word 'portable'
'really quite' (it is a combination of two words that are not suitable to be used together)
@Nelson says 'This one' , 'Last one is'. He should have said Next, beside that and lastly.
ReplyDelete@lee: should practice more in pronouncing words that last with 'ch', 'th', 's'.
ReplyDelete@Nelyson : forgot the 's' sound at the end of words (likes, photos)
ReplyDelete@Iskander : singular/ plural (this is our products, should be : this is our product)
@Lee: more easier(easier),for the third person - does/do not
For the next one....should be rephrased by saying next my friend will talk on....
ReplyDelete@Bernard - "products" should be "product" because it's only one product invented.
ReplyDelete@Iskander - this is our products should be this is our product.
@Nelson - torch light built-in should be built-in torch light.
@Mr. Lee - "more easier" should be "easier".
@Lee-"in term of". It should be "Well, in terms of"
ReplyDelete-"as we know". It should be " As far as we know"
@ To myself
ReplyDeleteneed to improve more in pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary.
@Myself=pronunciation ( this is the labelled part(s) of the pen) missing "s" in /parts/
ReplyDelete= imparted inside the pen wrongly used vocabulary should be imbedded inside the pen.
@Lee Cooper says "just call in" change to "contact us"
ReplyDelete@iskandar: try to use c1 discourse markers such as....on top of that...added to that
ReplyDelete@nelyson: add more c1 discourse markers
@edwin: try to elaborate rather than listing
@mr.lee: pronunciation of 'such as" should be clearer
Presentation of a product is a formal way of communication and it must use good structure of sentences. But it seems that it happened in an informal way where the presenter explained the product in point-form, eg. "MP-3 Device..." It would be nice to have it in a complete sentence for example, "This multi-purpose pen offers @ has...."
ReplyDelete@Lee : "There is no doubt that..." ( C1 expression ) instead of "No doubt for this..."
ReplyDelete@Edwin : too many "and then". You can use other sentence connectors such as "in addition to that", "additionally"
Group 1
ReplyDelete@Iskander- objective - should be - objectives
@ Nelson - has it.... " - has its.......
- function " - functions
- everyone like to " - everyone likes to...
- going to....and highlighted - going to ...and highlight....
@ lee - such as a travellers - such as travellers....
- more easier - easier

@Haizul. Practice pronouncing the words carefully. Slow down your speech.
ReplyDelete@Lee G. Need more practice to improve your speaking skill and read more books to widen your vocabulary.
@brain - I was gasping for word and all of a sudden 'demolish' came up on my mind. "Oh my English"
ReplyDeleteAll speakers had problem of pronouncing words that end with 's' and 'ce' (as in once)
ReplyDelete@Brian: line up (the correct word is queue up)
ReplyDelete@Sadai : Quite not expensive ( not expensive) and forgot the 's' sound for scissors
@haizul; I believe our product should user friendly, you forgot the 'be' (should be user friendly)

ReplyDelete@brain you can say "overcome this problem" instead of "demolish this problem"
ReplyDelete@sadai you used "whereby" which is a C1 language. Well done...
@haizul you can say "How do we ....." instead of "How to ....."

@group 2: guys you really need to practice to use more C1 level vocabulary, connectors to get C1 for your speaking test. I believe everyone should practice on it.
ReplyDeleteGroup 2 - Haizul used the word 'model' to describe hair fashion or hair style. We usually use 'model' to describe names of electrical products and vehicles. He should have used 'Hair Style' or 'Fashion'
ReplyDelete@brian...mispronunciation....'know as' should be 'known as'

@to myself: never ever forget to pronounce the last letter of the words. 'TH' sounds
ReplyDelete@mygroupGroup3 We seriously need to practise on pronunciation. Please don't skip the last letter's sound of every word.
ReplyDelete@Majang..don't add the 's' sound after the word' would' it sounds like 'woods' that is jungle
ReplyDelete@Group 3.- Put more effort in the beginning and ending of words. for example the word 'This' sound like 'tis'.
ReplyDelete@Group 3. Can we rub the handphone on our body?

ReplyDelete@vivien you should say "ranged from 2000 to 3000" instead of "2000 and 3000"
ReplyDelete@myself : Try to get rid of the phrase "and then"...and it a MUST!
