STRATEGIES FOR THE MONOLOGUES
In the case that your monologue is too short and you need to complete it in order to speak for 2-3 minutes, here are some strategies that you can use.
You can use an introduction like this (or shorter):
First of
all, let me introduce myself. My name is Mike, I live in Icod, I’ve been
preparing this test for a long time and I’ve been studying English since I was
at school. However, right now I’m terribly nervous, so, therefore, if I make
any mistakes, sorry, I apologise in advance. Ok, wish me luck. Here we go.
Then you can use strategies to expand your ideas like these:
So, the question
is: “Are you a spender or a saver?” ... repeat the question
Well, it’s
not easy for me to answer this question, let me think…gain some time
Actually, I
had never thought of this before…
By the way, the other day ... use a personal anecdote
Personally,
I disagree with the idea that ... use a personal opinion
You can use a conclusion like this:
So, to sum
up, as I said before, in conclusion, I am a spender. As I mentioned before, I
adore shopping.
And finally an ending like this:
Well, that’s
it. I hope you have liked it, and I hope I have passed the test!
Thank you
for your attention!
IMPORTANT: use these strategies with moderation.
