Summary

In this episode I'm joined by Paul Taylor and Robert Hoehn and we do a speaking exercise that I often use in my classes to help my students to practise using different grammatical structures in their speaking. I thought it would be interesting to record some native speakers doing the exercise too, so that's what you'll hear in this episode, as well as various little anecdotes, a few jokes and general chat. The conversation contains swearing and a few humourous comments which shouldn't be taken too seriously. Click here for the page for this episode http://wp.me/p4IuUx-71a

0:47.0	And I invited them both over to my flat recently in order to record the three of us doing a speaking exercise that I usually do in class with my students.
0:56.8	The speaking exercise is designed to help the students to practice using different grammatical
1:02.0	structures, including present perfect
1:05.0	tense for talking about life experiences and also past simple tense for
1:10.1	asking questions about those life experiences and for giving specific details about past events
1:15.8	and also generally for telling stories describing narratives giving anecdotes and things like that.
1:22.0	So in the classroom I find that this exercise
1:24.4	generates lots of conversation and gives my students a chance to practice all
1:28.8	that language. I thought it might be interesting to record some native speakers doing the exercise in order
1:34.6	to see what kind of language comes out and I always encourage you to try and notice specific
1:40.5	bits of grammar or vocabulary.
1:43.6	And also, just so that I can now present you
1:46.5	with a natural conversation between native speakers
