25. Practise

26. 1: Opening lines – greet, introduce topic, and your role
Hi Miriam. How's it going?
What a coincidence! I was just thinking
about you, because remember last week
when we were talking about which school
to send our kids to.
Well, I´ve been thinking about it, and it
seems to me that we should enrol them
in a local single-sex private school, as the
quality of education is better.

27. 2: First Idea– Academic achievement
In fact, it has recently been reported that
children who go to single-sex schools are
more likely to obtain better academic
results.
Consequently, this helps them to go to
world-class universities, and get well-paid
jobs.

28. 3: Ask question?
Wouldn't you agree that passing exams is
important?

29. 1: Respond to idea - introduce your role
Well, I´m in two minds about that.
Yes. On the one hand I agree,
qualifications are very important.
However, on the other hand, have you
thought about the advantages of co-
educational state schools?

30. 1: Respond to idea - and start to end the dialogue
Yes, I can't argue with that; private
education isn't cheap. But, it's a great
investment for our children.
So, how can I persuade you to change
your mind?

31. Congratulations!
You have finished your practice test

32. Review – how well did you do?
Ask yourself:
1. Did I say everything I had planned to say?
2. What things went well/badly?
3. What things should I change to reduce my
mistakes?
4. How can I improve?

33. Apply
Apply the technique

34. Role A:
Your teenager has decided to become a
vegetarian but you consider that this will
eventually affect their health and
performance at school. You don't approve of
the choice and are not prepared to cook
expensive special dishes for one.
Talk them into a balanced diet instead. They
will be hard to persuade
New Exam Question
Role B: YOU BEGIN
You are a teen. You have decided to become
a vegetarian for ecological, ethical and
health reasons, but at home they refuse to
cook special dishes for you.
Talk to a parent about it, and try to make
them understand how you feel and why it is
important for you to respect animals, the
environment and your health. They will be
hard to persuade.
