Tips - Answering questions


Hello again! This school year you have Estudo Acompanhado with your English teacher to practice your speaking skills. Here are some tips to help you with your work.

In a friendly conversation don't always answer a question with just yes or no. An answer like Yes, it is sounds a bit better. Best of all, add another sentence: Did you enjoy the film? - Yes, I did. It was great. I like Brad Pitt. This helps to keep the conversation going.

See you next time!
