Independent Speaking
Your mini-outline (that you write in 15 seconds) only has a little information:
Answer
- Reason 1
- Reason 2
Your full response (that you say in 45 seconds) should be more developed:
1 Topic Statement (Answer the question in one sentence.)
2 Description (If the prompt asks, give a brief description of your answer.)
3 Lead-in (optional: “I have two reasons for my opinion.”)
4 Reason 1 (“The first reason is…”)
5 Detail/example (“For example, …”)
6 Reason 2 (“The second reason is…”)
7 Detail/example (“This means that…”)
(8 Conclusion - If you still have time remaining.)
