Hello.
Hello.
I have just learned that my textbook misled my with writing task. I decided to ask whether my usage of personal examples in Q1 and Q2 is a good idea.
if it is possible please give me a link to authors whose answers got a high score. if you have a name or a link to a good textbook I would be grateful for this information as well.
Thank you. Eugene.
No, don't use personal
No, don't use personal experiences in speaking either. When you use personal experiences, most likely you are going to make a big story and it is going to leave no room for other contents which are important too. Examples in speaking should be simple, general. one sentence could be enough for an example.
We like this pattern for Q1-Q2:
first 1-2 sentences: introduction. my opinion: A or B. agree or disagree. about 5-10 seconds
First, reason 1 (1 sentence) + why reason 1 (some arguments. 1-2 sentence) + a small conclusion for reason 1(like advantages of reason 1 or comparisons if not reason 1, 1-2 sentence). // about 15-20 seconds
Second, reason 2 (1 sentence) + why reason 2 (some arguments. 1-2 sentence) + a small conclusion for reason 2(like advantages of reason 2 or comparisons if not reason 2, 1-2 sentence). // about 15-20 seconds
Conclusion: Don't need a conclusion. (you can have one only when you don't have something to talk about)
-----------------------------------------
An example (Eating at home or restaurant) for First:
First,reason 1 (1 sentence: Eating at home can save money) + why reason 1(some arguments. 1-2 sentences: I can prepare cheaper food from food market; I don't need to drive or take a bus to reach the restaurant;) + small conclusions ( 1-2 sentences: with the money I saved, I can buy a good book to read; I can use the money for a trip...).
