Today I am practising: Speaking in complete sentences with a clear voice.

1

Say the name of one object you can see right now and tell what color it is.

2

Tell one thing the object is used for in a full sentence, such as: I use it to carry water.

3

Describe where the object usually stays at home, using the words on, in, or under.

4

Say two words that describe how the object feels, such as soft, hard, smooth, or rough.

5

Tell a short story about the object in three sentences: who uses it, when, and why.

6

Ask one question about a partner's object, then repeat the answer in your own words.

Grown-up guide
