Awesome CELPIP speaking practice while out for a walk?
|
Hello Reader, Your walk home from work, or around your neighbourhood can easily turn into a fun CELPIP speaking task practice session if you're alert to what's going on around you. How about this? The other day as I was walking I noticed this cool little yard ornament: What could you do with this shot to help you practice? I immediately thought of speaking task 8, where you need to describe a picture with an unusual item or situation happening in it. Give yourself 30 seconds to brainstorm what you'd say, then pull out your phone's voice recorder and try describing it to someone who isn't there. (Like you call your best friend to tell them about it.) You have 60 seconds to give your description. This picture could also easily turn into speaking task 3 practice, where you need to describe a scene, or a speaking task 2 session where you talk about the cool lawn ornament you found as you were out for a walk. The point? Notice what's around you as you're out enjoying Spring. Take a picture of it, and see how you can use it to help you practice. Wouldn't it be cool? And wouldn't it be cool if you could get some feedback on your speaking and writing skills? Well, you can!

Hello Reader, Something unwelcome happens when many people who take the CELPIP. Maybe it has even happened to you. The moment you sit down for the speaking section of the exam, and see the microphone, and the faceless computer in front of you waiting to record your every word, your nerves and anxiety shoot through the roof. Then the timer begins. And something worse happens: your ability to think quickly in English vanishes. Poof. Gone. And you sit there frozen. It's a terrible feeling, isn't...
Hello Reader, You know what I find hard to do? Stay focused on one conversation when there are MANY conversations happening around me. Example? I can't talk on the phone (easily) if there are other people in the room talking at the same time. I end up having to leave the room so I can stay focused on who I am talking with. On the speaking section of the CELPIP, can you guess which tasks are the most difficult to stay focused on? If you're thinking task 3 and 4, where you need to describe an...
Hello Reader, You know what? Opportunities to practice for the CELPIP are all around you every day. But most people miss them because the opportunities are disguised in the plain clothes of regular life. Here's an example: Yesterday I had to pick up some milk for an event at work, so I quickly made my way to the nearby convenience store. I found the milk, and noticed the price at around $6. (Ouch.) I grabbed it and made my way to the checkout counter. Beep. The cashier scanned the barcode of...
