Practice 42

Practice speaking! Use collocation to talk about yourselves or your activities in 5 sentences. You have 5 minutes to plan. 43

Example Hi, everyone. I’d like to talk about myself. My name is Jirawoot Sararit. I wasn’t born rich, so I have to make money by myself. I never make a quick decision. I always tell myself to make a plan before doing anything and get ready to do my job. I like to keep contact with a reliable person, but I don’t like those who make a lot of promises and never keep them. If you want to be my friends, make sure you are honest with me. We are going to have a good time! 44

Evaluate yourselves! Can you speak now? Are you ready to speak? Share your thoughts! 45
