Listen to the sample responses to the camouflage example. What was good or bad about each?

Your response to speaking task 6 should have these parts:
1 Introduction: summarize the general topic (what is camouflage?)
2 Lead-in: say what points the speaker gives (“The professor describes two examples of camouflage.”)
3 First point (leafy sea dragon)
4 detail/example (permanent camouflage, color and shape)
5 Second point (cuttlefish)
6 detail/example (changeable camouflage, color only)
(There may be three points, in which case make sure to get through the first two more quickly.)
