In lessons 6 through 9, you learned important skills. You learned to listen actively and respond. You learned to compare things and give reasons. You learned to correct yourself when you make mistakes.
Active listening means you pay attention and show interest. You can say "I see," "That makes sense," or "Tell me more." These responses help people feel heard.
Comparing helps you explain differences. You use comparative adjectives like "bigger," "better," and "faster." You use "because" to give reasons for your comparisons.
Giving reasons is important. You explain why you like or do something. You use simple words like "because," "so," and "that's why." Your reasons make your speaking clear.
Self-correction shows confidence. When you make a mistake, you fix it right away. You say "I mean..." or "Actually..." These phrases help you communicate clearly. Using all these skills together makes you a better speaker.

Think about these questions before your lesson.
For each question above, write maximum 3 keywords — no sentences. Then practise speaking your answer out loud from just the keywords.
Q1: "Compare two things you use every day. Which one is better and why?"
Your 3 keywords: / /
Now say your answer out loud. Speak for about 30 seconds from just your keywords.
Q2: "When someone talks to you, how do you show you are listening?"
Your 3 keywords: / /
Speak for 30 seconds. Let your brain build the sentences from the keywords.
