Daily English Conversation Practice

Some days ago, Michelle Tran from Basic English Speaking, contacted me so I could have a look at her webpage.

Apart from containing basic English grammar, expressions and sentence pattern, it also contains conversation question ordered by topic and, what is best, these questions are accompanied by the audio, so you can also listen to them.

Trinity ISE I students, I think this is very useful particularly for you, since the topics of the conversation phase of your oral exam are all in these link of the webpage I'm speaking about.

I hope you find it as useful and interesting as I have!

ISE II (B2): Useful sentences to express agreement and disagreement

Agreeing with an opinion:

We use these words and phrases to agree with someone else's point of view:

• Of course.
• You're absolutely right.
• Yes, I agree.
• I think so too.
• That's a good point.
• Exactly.
• I don't think so either.
• So do I.
• I'd go along with that.
• That's true.
• Neither do I.
• I agree with you entirely.
• That's just what I was thinking.
• I couldn't agree more. 

Disagreeing with an opinion:

We use these words and phrases to disagree with someone else's point of view:

• That's different.
• I don't agree with you.
• However…
• That's not entirely true.
• On the contrary…
• I'm sorry to disagree with you, but…
• Yes, but don't you think…
• That's not the same thing at all.
• I'm afraid I have to disagree.
• I'm not so sure about that.
• I must take issue with you on that.
• It's unjustifiable to say that...

ISE II (B2): Exercise 9b, page 18

If you remember, a couple of weeks ago, we did an exercise about the oral part of the exam, specifically the conversation part in which I read some prompts and you had to write some question you can ask related to the topic. Then your classmates revised them and added some ideas. Finally and after two weeks, I have ordered your questions and put them together in a file. You can download the file by clicking in the following link:

Sorry for the delay and see you on Thursday!
