Introduction

Using the right facts, statistics or data can help you make powerful arguments. We will consider common topics that are asked in your speaking test and gather interesting or surprising facts that can be used to answer questions. 

Warm Up

What are a few topics you expect to be asked about in your speaking test? 

Language

Research each of the topics you chose, and find at least one fact. If you already know about the topic, please use the language below to discuss it. 

You may not remember facts exactly, so you can use vague language. Here are some phrases you can use: 

  1. I believe...
  2. If I remember correctly, 
  3. Approximately/Roughly/About/Around [+ number]
  4. ...or something like that. 
Practice

Your teacher will now ask you some typical speaking test questions. Use the facts you researched, and the phrases for estimating numbers, in your answers.
