 Speaking Video 

Hints:

1. Try to make your video three minutes long. If you need more time, make it six minutes maximum. That means you must choose your words carefully. 
2. Try to use the vocabulary, structure and grammar learned in units 5 - 8.
3. Prepare (think about what you will say) before starting the video.
4. Make it sound like you are answering questions from an audience (the class, for example). 
5. Say, "Number 1, number 2, ..if you think your video will be too long.(Ex.more than 6 minutes) 
6. Use your best pronunciation.
7. Be professional.
8. Speak in a louder voice than usual.
9. Do not try to speak too fast if you have a strong accent. That is because it will sound more like your native language than English. 
10. DO NOT READ your answers. IT IS VERY EASY FOR ME TO KNOW IF YOU ARE READING.
