  7. Practice - using ever / never Talk with your partner about experiences you have and haven’t done. Use “ever” and “never” in your questions & answers as much as possible. EX. A. Have you ever climbed Mt. Halla? B. No, I’ve never climbed Halla. I have climbed some smaller mountains near my hometown, though. A.Really? What’s your hometown? When…? Where…? ETC… Who…?

  10. Practice - using for/ since One of your key questions will be “How long...?” EX. How long have you lived in Ulsan? I’ve lived there for six years. How long have you been playing the piano? I’ve been playing it since elementary school.

  11. Sample Practice Conversations A. What’s your hobby? B. I like playing go-stop. A. How long have you been playing go-stop? B. I’ve been playing since middle school. A. What...? When...? ETC... Do you...?

  14. Placing adverbs with multi-word verbs When using an adverb with a longer verb (more than one word), the adverb generally goes after the modal verb (helping verb). Ex. PRESENT PROGRESSIVE I amstill working on my assignment. PASSIVE VOICE (past tense) The steak wasn’treally cooked enough. PRESENT PERFECT Kyung Mi hasnever found a good job.

  15. already / yet - placement with present perfect • It’s very common to put already between present perfect verbs. EX. They’ve already watched the movie. • It’s possible (but much less common) to put yet between present perfect verbs. EX. Randy hasn’t yet been abroad. • It’s very common to put either already or yet at the end of the present perfect clause. EX. My contract has been approved already. I haven’t gotten paid yet, so I can’t go on vacation with you this weekend.

  16. Conversation Practice - rules • 1. Speak only English. • 2. Don’t stop talking.

  17. Conversation Practice • Your conversations should be open and natural • but they should include your experiences • talk about interesting things you have done • talk about things that you want to do Follow the flowchart (1 or 2) to make sure you have a correct and polite conversation.

  18. With your new partner • You can talk about exactly the same subjects as your last conversation: Your actual discussion will be different with each new person you talk to. • If you want to change subjects, think about your experiences with: - travel - sports and leisure - food - jobs and career - love and relationships

  19. Conversations w/Tim • Your conversations will be 10-15 minutes. • You are the leader of the conversation. • Grading: • Conversation skills • Listening comprehension • Asking and answering questions properly • Good language use: vocabulary and grammar

  20. Topics for Conversation w/Tim The subject that we talk about during our conversation will vary depending on what week during the semester you are scheduled: Week 3: • recent experiences (during the winter vacation?) that we enjoyed

  21. Tips for Conversations w/Tim You will lead the conversation. If there is a pause, it’s your job to keep the flow of the conversation going. It’s a conversation, not a speech, you shouldn’t talk much more than the teacher. Ask questions to get detailed answers. Be sure to ask logical follow-up questions (FUQ). Don’t just ask about a series of unrelated topics. Use a series of questions to find out about the few subjects we discuss in detail. Relax! This isn’t a formal occasion. Try to view it as just two people having a casual conversation.

  22. Board Games - General Rules Games are occasionally used in class to practice making good follow-up questions (FUQ) and giving appropriate answers. 1. A player flips the coin and moves to the correct space. 2. The player answers the question with a FULL sentence. 3. After listening to the players answer, each group partner asks one FUQ (each) which the player answers (in full sentences). 4. Next player flips the coin... REPEAT ALL STEPS. 5. Continue playing until the teacher says “STOP”.
