Therese - Level 4 - Intermediate - Lesson 4

Here Therese does her first Out There Task (speaking practice task) from lesson 4 with my mother who has been staying with us in Weymouth.The lesson was on technology and possibilities (modals of probability, possibility and certainty).Following this conversation Therese went out to the seafront to repeat the task with some members of the public. She took the voice recorder with her and asked them if she could record. On that day everyone said 'No', which is fine. There are some more recordings of Out There Tasks done with members of the public coming up...we don't publish names or any personal details, just anonymous voices and we also ask permission first.Therese has heard a great cross-section of accents so far. My mother is from the Home Counties (so she sounds a bit posh), there is a lady from Yorkshire and gentlemen from Dorset and Wales.I have also introduced Therese to my 'Give Your English Out There' closed group on Facebook so she can get some online speaking practice if she wants. The group is where I introduce my volunteer English Speaking Philanthropists (ELPers) to my students. They swap Skype or IM ids and then make friends and do the Out There speaking tasks together.
