LESSON 1: TIPS FOR IMPROVING READING A TEXT ALOUD AND PRACTICE Targeted Skills
In order to do well on Questions 1 and 2, you must be able to:
• pronounce common words correctly.
• use correct intonation when reading sentences.
• use correct stress on syllables and words. Things to Remember
1. Scan the entire text before reading so you have an idea of the content.
2. Read clearly and in a voice that can be easily heard.
3. Remember to pause for commas and periods.
4. Be sure to use intonation that matches the meaning of the sentences.
5. Be careful to pronounce the words correctly.
TIP 1 Practice correct pronunciation and learn to recognize “tricky” sounds.
TASK 1: Read each word and focus on its consonant sound
TASK 2: Look at the words. How many syllables do you think each word has?
Write the number for your guess for each word in the first column
TIP 2 Learn stress in order to pronounce words correctly
• In nouns and adjectives with two syllables, the stress usually falls on the first syllable.
For verbs with two syllables, the stress usually falls on the second syllable
• For nouns that end in -ion, -sion, -tion, or -ic, the stress will be on the syllable right
before the suffix: nation, conversion, graduation.
• For verbs with -ize or -ate suffixes, the stress will be on the first syllable of a three-
syllable word or the second syllable of a four-syllable word: specialize, anticipate.
• For words ending with -cy,-ty, -phy, -gy, or -at, the stress will be on the third syllable
from the end: democracy, photography, university, ge raphy og , principle.
TASK: Read the sentences and notice the boldfaced words. Circle the boldfaced
words that are nouns, and underline the boldfaced words that are verbs.
TIP 3 Use correct intonation for phrasing in statements.
• Statements typically have falling intonation, meaning the speaker’s voice lowers slightly at the end of the sentence.
• Information questions usually start with the word Who,What, Where, When, Why, or
How. These types of questions have falling intonation at the end of the sentence.
• Yes-No questions usually start with some form of an auxiliary verb, such as do, have,
can, or be. These types of questions, including tag questions at the ends of sentences, have an up intonation.
TASK : Mark the phrasing of each sentence with rising or falling intonation marks,
then read the whole sentence correctly

LESSON 2: SOME TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR PICTURE DESCRIPTION Targeted Skills
In Question 3, you should be able to:
• pronounce common words correctly.
• use correct stress on syllables and words.
• identify the important features of a photo.
• describe a photo using appropriate vocabulary.
• describe a photo using correct sentence structure Things to Remember
1. First, scan the photo. What information will you need in your response?
Brainstorm quickly when you see the image.
2. Next, think about what you want to talk about and how you want to say it.
You have 30 seconds to prepare and 45 seconds to respond.
3. You will hear a beep signaling when to start. Begin your answer with a sentence
starter, such as This is a picture of……..; In this photograph , there are . . . ; In this picture, I
see . . . .; The picture shows that……..
TIP 1 Be sure to use the correct noun or pronoun and the correct verb form. You can
organize your response by asking yourself: Who or what is the main subject in the photo?
Be sure to vary your response by using pronouns as well as different nouns to refer to the
people and things in the photo.
TIP 2 Use specific verb tenses and structures for basic descriptions. Make sure you are
comfortable with these tenses: simple present, simple past, and present and past
continuous. Also, make sure you can use There is/There are ....

TIP 3 Use adjectives to give more information about people and objects. Adjectives

adjectives follow a specific order in English. In normal speech, English speakers rarely

out the correct order, even if you use only two adjectives together.
