Today I am practising: Taking turns in conversation and asking questions.
1
Choose a topic from this list: favorite meal, best game, a pet, or a family trip. Say two sentences about it.
2
Your partner repeats one detail from what you said, then asks one question that starts with why or how.
3
Answer the question in two full sentences, then switch roles so the partner speaks next.
4
Practice a polite interruption: say Excuse me, may I add something? and then share one idea.
5
Retell your partner's answer to a third person in three sentences without adding new facts.
6
End the talk by thanking your partner and naming one thing you learned from listening.
- Pair the child with a partner. Explain that each partner speaks for about one minute while the other listens without interrupting.
