student:

 Yes, thank you for taking my question. Why 

shouldn’t someone memorize a presentation? Wouldn’t 

that build confidence?

Presenter:

 I think I already answered that. No one

boring. It’s OK to memorize the key points, but avoid . . .

Before you listen

1

  Direct the students’ attention to the pictures. Ask 

two or three students to report back to the class 

about the discussions they had with their partner.

2

  Give students time to describe their experiences to 

a partner.

ExtEnsion activity

People often enjoy telling and listening to these kinds of 

experiences. Have the students form groups, and ask 

them to tell each other their experiences. If there are 

some very confident speakers in each group, ask them 

to relate the most interesting experiences to the class.
