Becoming fluent in English is a question of practice. The more you practice and repeat, the more automatic it becomes. So try to add more details when speaking to give a fuller answer and speak more.

You can do this in the following ways

1. adding ideas – what else can I say? - and, also

2. giving examples – can I think of an example? - for example, for instance

3. adding detail – what precisely do I mean?/when did it happen? etc - when, in fact, now

4. giving reasons – why? - because, so, and so

5. saying something different – isn’t there something different I can say? - but, though, even though

Look at Page 54 in Pet Result, exercises 1 and 2 and try to answer the questions fully.

You can also use linking words in your writing to make longer sentences.

You can read about them here.

Try the exercises on Page 108 of Insight into PET

Then try this exercise

This exercise is similar to one part of the PET and FCE exam.

See this site for more information on the position of linkers in a phrase.

Per descrivere come sono vestiti le persone, cosa hanno in mano e cosa stanno facendo, usare il presente continuo. 

Per piu informazioni sul present continuo consultare il libro di grammatica, Unit 3. 

Possiamo anche usare il presente continuo per parlare di tendenze nella societa.
