Imagine and say... "Create and articulate"

Hello everybody,

A good exercise for speaking is to write down some unusual situations and pretend they are true - and then speak about them or write about them. This will encourage you to think about and learn more vocabulary.

I will give you some examples of situations/ideas:

"I met the Queen in 2002"

" My brother likes to go mountaineering"

"I saw a UFO"

" I have visited Moscow"

All these statements are untrue, but can be useful for making an interesting presentation or written text...

Here is an example:

"I saw a UFO"

"One evening, when I was driving along in my car, I saw a big light in the sky. It was unusual as it was very big. The light was moving across the night sky. It caught my eye, because it was so big. Suddenly the light moved very quickly, much faster than an airplane could. I was amazed to see it speed away. I believe it was a UFO. Unfortunately, I had no video camera, so I could not show someone else."

Vocabulary:

UFO = Unidentified Flying Object.

It caught my eye = I noticed it

I just made this up. I have never seen a UFO.

So, just use your imagination. Write it, say it or both!

Bye for now
