Speaking Material

Activity 1

•    Hello students, what about your listening? It's time for speaking              are you ready to begin,?

•    Now, I have an interesting activity.
•    Please pay attention to the video below.

•    Discuss with your friends about the audio.

•    Decide what expression using in the audio!

•    Great, now it’s time for you to practice.

•    Make a simple dialogue based on the video.

 Activity 2


Students, who knows about direction?
Direction is the information contained in the relative position of one point with respect to another point without the distance information. Directions may be either relative to some indicated reference (the violins in a full orchestra are typically seated to the left of the conductor), or absolute according to some previously agreed upon frame of reference (New York City lies due west of Madrid). Direction is often indicated manually by an extended index finger or written as an arrow. On a vertically oriented sign representing a horizontal plane, such as a road sign, "forward" is usually indicated by an upward arrow. Mathematically, direction may be uniquely specified by a unit vector in a given basis, or equivalently by the angles made by the most direct path with respect to a specified set of axes.
There are some kinds of Direction :
1. Cardinal directions or cardinal points are the directions of north, south, east, and west, commonly denoted by their initials: N, S, E, W. East and west are at right angles to north and south, with east being in the direction of rotation and west being directly opposite. Intermediate points between the four cardinal directions form the points of the compass. The intermediate (intercardinal, or ordinal) directions are north-east (NE), north-west (NW), south-west (SW), and south-east (SE).

2. Relative directions are left, right, forward(s), backward(s), up, and down. No absolute direction corresponds to any of the relative directions. This is a consequence of the translational invariance of the laws of physics: nature, loosely speaking, behaves the same no matter what direction one moves. As demonstrated by the Michelson-Morley null result, there is no absolute inertial frame of reference. There are definite relationships between the relative directions, however. Left and right, forward and backward, and up and down are three pairs of complementary directions, each pair orthogonal to both of the others. Relative directions are also known as egocentric coordinates.

Expression
Here are some some expression to express direction
Go Straight

(First,) go down this street (for ……. blocks).
(Then,) turn left/right at the traffic light.
(After that,) go straight on ….. street until you get to the ……
(When you get to the …..,) turn left/right again.
(Then,) stay on …… Avenue for about ……… yards/meters.
It’s on your left, next to the ………..

Dialogue

(A): Excuse me. Is there a grocery store around here?(B): Yeah. There’s one right across the street. 

(A): Can you tell me how to get to Phoenix? 

(B): Sorry. I don’t live around here.

(A): Where’s Tanner’s Leather Shop?
(B): It’s on the corner of Holly and Vine. Next to the library.

(A): How do you get to the bank?
(B): Go straight down this street for two blocks. Turn left when you get to Maple Street. Stay on Maple for half a block. It’s on the left hand side. 

 Activity 3
•    Good job students, I’m sure that you have understood about the direction from the video and definition     above.
•    Well done students!
•    Please make a dialogue using the direction.
•    I believe you’ve understood enough with the video. 

 •    Good luck.
