1️⃣ I will tell you what!

- How are you?
- Ah, you know, I was just going to make myself a sandwich yesterday when I thought...

*45 minutes pass

- Well, would you like to do some exercises from our coursebook or shall we just continue speaking?
- I dunno. What about you? You didn't tell me your news.

2️⃣ I'm fine, thank you

- How are you?
- I'm fine, thank you.
- Well, how was your weekend?
- It was good, thank you.
- Well, have you got any news? Has something interesting happened?
- Erm... No. No news, nothing interesting.

3️⃣ You got me thinking...

- How are you? How was your weekend?
- Oh, right, weekend. Wait a second. What's the date today? What did I do at the weekend? Wait, seriously. When was it... Let me check my calendar... Ah, yes, I remember now!..

4️⃣ I've come prepared!

- How are you? Have you got any news?
- Thank you, I'm fine. At the weekend I was... *grammar from previous class
After that we had... *vocabulary from homework
And finally I decided... *idiom from a series they are watching now for educational purposes...

Can you relate?

#опрос

Как поддержать разговор, когда нам рассказывают историю

1️⃣ Простое

Mmhmm (угу) / okay / Really? / That's interesting! / That's a shame / Oh, dear / Oh, nice

Киваем, улыбаемся, поднимаем бровь, поджимаем губы и округляем глаза - в общем-то, мы все это умеем и на родном языке

2️⃣ It sounds + adjective

Даём оценку рассказанному

It sounds reasonable / ridiculous / exhausting / delicious / annoying - вот про что рассказали, так и комментируем

3️⃣ must / can't / might / could + have + V3 (он же перфектный инфинитив после модальных, он же speculating about the past)

Предполагаем что-то и высказываемся

You must have been really disappointed!

It can't have been fair!

You might have been hurt!

4️⃣ Would + have + V3 (половинка третьего условного)

Вот как будто мы начали - if I had been there / if this had happened with me

И продолжаем

I would have panicked!

I would have kicked up a fuss!

I would have sent him to hell!

5️⃣ Играем в учителя английского

Вообразите, что вам нужно подсказать слово собеседнику. Подсказать, как ещё можно сказать то, что он вам сказал.

Перефразируйте, обобщайте и возвращайте. Грамматически строим как утверждение, но можно добавить вопросительную интонацию.

So, you made a really good decision, right?

So, looks like there weren't many options to choose from... Am I right?

Well, I take it you were completely overwhelmed. Is that so?

6️⃣ Ещё набор фразочек без категории

#game

One person says something (personal stories are the most convenient here), another one comments using options 3️⃣-5️⃣ from the article above

And then you are welcome to continue the conversation further

So, let me start

I'm taking some IV medication rn

Comments?
