Keep the conversation moving
Practise giving an opinion, explaining it and responding to a follow-up question. Learn ways to clarify your meaning when a word escapes you.
Read a work closely
Choose a scene or passage and explain how it supports an interpretation. Move beyond retelling the plot to discuss the writer’s or director’s choices.
Use grammar for a purpose
Revisit a structure in the context of your argument. Explain a hypothetical outcome or contrast past and present, then check accuracy.
The writing paper covers either two books or one book and one film. Speaking includes discussion of your independent research project. Confirm your chosen works and your centre’s guidance before deciding what outside support is appropriate.
Yes. Short follow-up questions can help you develop an answer without relying on a memorised paragraph. Agree how you would like corrections to be given.
No. Independent work must remain yours. A tutor can build general research, language and discussion skills within your centre’s rules.
