1. They help the reader to make good of what is being read. The comma is second in importance to the full stop. The
full stop marks a break between sentences, and the comma marks a slightly smaller or shorter break in the sentence.
It tells the reader to pause slightly within the sentence. There are also particular cases
where commas are always
used, for example, marking off the items in a list.
2. Choose a topic of interest to the class as a whole. In preparing your speech remember that it is a speech and not
an essay.
When you give a speech, it should not sound as though it is being read. Some people make notes and then
address the audience using their notes. Others, though, write out the whole speech but then read it “dramatically”. In
general, the sentences in a speech are shorter than they are in an essay.
3. The use of the present perfect and the past simple can be one of the most difficult things to learn in English,
particularly for Russian speakers. It won’t be possible for you to learn it very quickly. Don’t worry. Practice the
tenses as much as possible whenever you can and little by little you will learn how to use them properly.
4. The present perfect links the past and the present. It is often used with “just” to describe an action in
the recent
past. It is also used for recent actions in the past with a present result, when the evidence is in the present. It also
denotes actions which began in the past and still take place or are happening now. Finally, we use the present
perfect tense to relate experience from the past until now.
5. Use the first paragraph to state your reason for writing. If you are replying to
an advertisement you should
mention where you saw it. In the second paragraph draw attention to what makes you a particularly suitable person
for the post. Use present tenses to highlight your present situation and skills. Use the present perfect to describe
relevant recent experience. Use the past tense to describe relevant achievements in the past. Don’t
use informal
expressions.
6. The best way of improving is to get as much practice in listening as possible. Some of this may be “real” English
on television and radio. Use your knowledge of the world to help you predict or guess what people are talking
about. Never stop listening too early, because quite a lot of what is said may be repeated. Don’t
worry if you cannot
understand every word. We rarely follow everything we hear, even in our own language.
7. It is important to have a good strong opening if your writing is aimed at persuading people to change their views.
You can start by presenting the opposite point of view to your own, using expressions like “Some people argue ...”
etc. This is usually followed by linking words which serve to introduce the other side of the argument. You can
personalise the argument by using real examples. Group what you want to say into main topic areas.
