英语输出实在太难了，特别是口语。最近我正因为这个事头疼，感谢主，今天刚好就学了这部分内容。我觉得今天老师讲的都是超级干货，所以认真做了笔记，分享给大家，希望对大家的口语有帮助!

一、HOW to practice Speaking

Conversation

• Only English

• With native speaker

• Necessary to communicate

Speaking to yourself

• Recording yourself

- Listen,note mistakes,repeat.

Can't speak out loud?Do it in your head!

What to talk about?

1. Read or listen and respond them

- Summarize

- Give reaction 

2. Copy the format of Task 2 prompts (you can find it online)

- List of 650 prompts here (https://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/20/learning/lesson-plans/650-prompts-for-narrative-and-personal-writing.html)

二、Grammatical range and accuracy

Grammatical range problems

1. Overuse of the BE verb (am, is,are,was,were) as the main verb of the sentence.

Examples:

- I am a doctor.

- She was late to the party.

- He is not happy with his grade.

Improvements:

- I practice medicine.

- She arrived late to the party.

- He disliked his grade.

2. Overuse of simple sentences constructions:

Examples:

I studied hard in college.

My mother worked hard for many years.

Improving your Grammatical Range scores:

1.Use connecting words and phrases

Examples:

- However,

- In the afternoon, I usually…

- Despite a few criticisms, my teacher liked…

2.Use coordination (conjunctions)

Examples:

- Jill liked the movie, but she still fell asleep at the end.

- We left the party early and then decided to get some ice cream.

3.Use  subordination

- Noun clauses:  [What she said] was interesting.

- Adjective clauses: Let's go to the restaurant [that James suggested.]

- Adverb clauses: I ate a lot of candy [when I was younger.]

4.Other structures to say:

- model verbs

- passive voice

- gerunds
