Practise your speaking skills.

Awesome (=/o:zem/ amazing) English will teach you how to make better sentences. Learn to speak better sentences with an American English accent. Learn how to add easy details to sentences so that people can imagine what you are saying. This helps you be a more dynamic speaker.

 You can activate the subtitles to understand better but...
Don't forget to repeat as much as you need. You must imitate the teacher to improve the pronunciation.

Oddcast - PRACTICAR PRONUNCIACIÓN CADA DÍA

Aprovecharemos esta app para aprender a pronunciar, sí a pronunciar. Simplemente copia tu redacción y Olivia lo leerá por tí.
Solo tienes que repetir EXACTAMENTE lo que oigas, ir parando tras cada frase y tu acento mejorará sin darte cuenta. Este es mi texto:

" I usually get up very early - at about 6 o'clock. I have breakfast with my husband, and ten I go to work. I go to work by train and get to the office just before nine. I have lunch in the office afeteria at 12. The food isn't very good, but it's cheap. After lunch I sometimes meet workmates or write reports. In the evening I help my children with their homework and watch tv with my husband"

Copia el texto, ve a la demo y pégalo. Solo queda escuchar y repetir hasta que se te quede la pronunciación, el ritmo y la entonación

Haz lo mismo cada día con tus antiguas redacciones OK?

Preparing the EOI B1 and B2 exam with Marek Connel

Marek Connell is an English teacher with a YouTube channel who regularly posts videos on aspects of oral English for intermediate-to-advanced learners.


He has put together a collection of videos to help Spanish students of English prepare for the Escuela Oficial de Idiomas speaking exam at intermediate (B1) and upper-intermediate (B2) level by giving them examples of what a native speaker would/could say in the oral paper.

Each video deals with a different topic and in them Marek provides strategies and vocabulary which prove really helpful for students to resort to.

I have compiled a list of all the exam-related videos Marek has made. The B1/B2 tag is Marek's and it is very likely that it doesn't coincide with the level the topic is assigned to in the students' region.

"Speak English Confidently" 5 tips for no more nervousness @doingenglish



Hi, dawood alimi. I'm Kristina. My English is not good, but i hope you'll understand me. You wrote that nobody talk to you. So, i want to share with you my experience. Mostly I talk in Facebook. There are a lot of interesting groups and communities. Try to find some community which you are interested in. For example, I like to draw, so I searched CG communities. Posted my works, comments. And  I added some people as a friends. And we have conversation about topics which we are interested in. That is, try to find friends using your interests=))
Good luck :)
( sorry for my English)

SAMPLES OF SPEAKING TESTS AT INTERMEDIATE LEVEL



HERE'S ANOTHER EXAMPLE WITH TEACHER'S NOTES

Overall assessment

This is a reasonably strong performance as he keeps going well and answers the question. He should score well for fluency and coherence and task achievement.

Points to note – positive

The topic is in the past tense and he generally remembers to use the past tense in his talk.
He correctly identifies and answers the question in the first 20 seconds or so
When he can he corrects himself quickly.
“People thinks, people think”
He has a reasonable range of spoken expressions:
“treat people well”
“inspire confidence”
He pauses quite a lot but he maintains the flow and fluency of his talk
He has an accent but his pronunciation doesn’t cause communication problems

Points to note – negative

He has consistent problems with grammar and with plurals and subject/verb agreement in particular, eg
person/people
She still give me
He repeats the word “advice” too much and doesn’t use enough variations such as “should” “ought to”
He uses the connector “so” too often and incorrectly

English Language Learning Tips - Speaking Test Skills

USEFUL TIPS FOR PREPARING YOUR ORAL TEST
El examen oral de nivel Intermedio consta de 2 partes:
- SPEAKING (Monólogo)
- INTERACTION (Conversación)
SOME GENERAL TIPS FOR BOTH PARTS
  • No utilices vocabulario y estructuras de Nivel básico. Aunque no tengas errores no es probable que apruebes . 
  • Responde a las tareas  con respuestas largas y desarrolla tus ideas. No esperes a que el examinador te pregunte “por qué” . 
  • Usa conectores para enlazar tus ideas. En realidad, con 3 es suficiente 
  • (1 para la intro, otro para lo que quieres expresar y 3 para hacer un pequeño resumen y/o conclusión), pero que no sean and, but etc....
