1 CELPIP prep idea for you
|
Hello Reader, It's Saturday. I hope you have time to rest, relax, and enjoy some downtime. But if you need to practice for your CELPIP exam still, here's one simple (and fun) idea for you. I've used it with many of my students over the years, and it's a favourite! Ready? Take your cellphone and go for a walk. Look for something busy going on - like a busy city crosswalk, or lunch time in your local shopping mall's food court. Take a picture of what you see. When you get home, open your photo and practice describing the scene. Welcome to a great speaking task 3 practice session! Need some tips to help you? Here's a master class blog post I made for you. That's it. Your 1 idea. Will you try it? Bonus: reply and share your photo with me! I would love to see what saw on your walk! Have a great day, Aaron PS. Want to get feedback on your speaking skills? Try out my 30 day CELPIP speaking skills bootcamp. In just 30 days you'll practice every single speaking task type you'll face on the CELPIP AND get one-on-one friendly feedback on all of your responses. Join today and in 30 days you'll be speaking more confidently in English than you ever have been! |

Hello Reader, I've had more conversations this week about AI than I think I have ever had.
