The Final Exam Review
 Some Helpful Tips for
Speaking
1. Body language  look confident, have good posture
2. Eye contact  look around the room and at the people
3. Speak clearly be careful how you say letters like “r”, “l” and “f”.
4. Avoid monotone!!!
5. Talking speed  not too fast, not too slow
6. Watch punctuation  take short pauses at the end of sentences or
important parts
7. Volume  speak so that the last row of students can hear you
8. Know your voice  use feeling in your voice
9. Look smart and honest
10. Practice, practice, practice!!!
 HOW we speak
WHAT we say is important but also HOW we say it.

Things to remember when talking:

* Intonation
* Tone
* Volume
* Stressing words
* Pauses
* Fluency
* Speed
 Intonation
Your voice is like a rollercoaster
it goes up and down when you talk.

Monotone = no intonation

UP ENDING
 excitement
 question
 surprise

DOWN ENDING
 fact
 statement
 Intonation Change
When we speak, our intonation is ALWAYS going up and done, but
when we ask questions, when does it go up and down???

Do you like kimchi?

What is your favourite food?

How should the intonation at the end of these questions go?

Should the intonation the same or different?
 The Rise and Fall of Intonation
YES/NO questions = intonation goes up at the end.
Other questions = intonation goes down at the end.
Try these questions
… how should the intonation go?
• What is your favourite kind of ice cream?
• Do you always eat rice?
• Are apples your favourite fruit?
• What kind of food do you really dislike?
• Where do you eat lunch?
• Do you like sushi?
 What to Stress
Stressing different words in a sentence or question greatly changes the
meaning of what is being said.

I can read and write in English.
