## Tips

Before you start speaking:

- First look at the instructions.
- Try to think of words and expressions you might need.
- DON'T write out your conversation or talk completely!
  If you do that, it will just be a writing and reading exercise!

While speaking:

- Make sure you start a conversation by greeting the other person in a polite way.
- Look at your partner or at your audience.
- Speak calmly and not too quietly.
- You can use a note, but make sure there are only a few words on it!
- If you are lost for words try to describe it.
- Just try to keep on talking, even if you don't really know how you should say something.
- If you don't understand your partner ask for an explanation, or ask your partner to repeat.
- End a conversation by saying goodbye.

Try to practise a conversation a few times quickly.
It will be easier to remember the words and it is good for your speaking skills!
