Step 5 - Speaking
Have a discussion
You are going to have a discussion about opening times. If you want, you can use the Reading text ('Shopping in the UK') as a source.
- Make groups of three or four.
- Discuss the following question in your group: Should all shops be open on Sundays and important holidays?
- Make sure you discuss all different aspects: when should or shouldn't shops be open, which shops exactly and on which days?
- Take a few minutes to prepare.
- Listen carefully to everyone's opinion.
- Give your opinion respectfully.
- Try to reach a compromise.
- Your discussion should last about 5-6 minutes.
