Find someone who...

Find Someone Who

this activity is used as an ice - breaking activity.

find someone who

A "Find Someone Who..." activity that focuses on the use of irregular past simple verbs.  Students first write the past simple of a number of irregular verbs.  They then use those verbs to complete the "Find someone who..." prompts.  Finally, they complete the activity in the standard fashion.

Past Simple Find Someone Who...

This is a simple mingling/speaking activity to get students talking after staying at home for so long due to Covid-19. The word document can be modified so you can pick the questions that fit the best to your classes. The worksheet encourages conversation. I recommend to discuss the questions before starting the activity with a lower level group. After the students have talked to each other ask them to report back to the class what they have just heard from their classmates.

How to Improve English Speaking and Writing Skills by PaperHelp 
 
English is the most prominent language in the world. Perhaps not by the number of native speakers, but when you consider all the people who learn and speak it as a foreign language, it is a crucial language internationally speaking. Learning to speak English fluently is, therefore, quite a valuable skill. 
 
But learning a language, even English, is a difficult task. No wonder, then, that learners of all ages have many questions. They want to learn grammar effortlessly or need a correct essays in English (<a href="https://www.paperhelp.org/correct-my-essay.html)" target="_blank" title="https://www.paperhelp.org/correct-my-essay.html)">https://www.paperhelp.org/correct-my-essay.html)</a> they mainly want to practice speaking skills, and they want to know how to improve sentence structure. So let's start by answering some of the questions Los Angeles language school students often ask. 
 
How can I improve my English speaking skills? 
 
By speaking, of course. Virtually everyone who learns English wants to learn to speak English, and understandably so. Since English is the essential language in the world, knowing how to speak English is no longer a luxury but a necessity. 
 
Traveling frequently, studying abroad, watching movies, listening to music all of these activities require knowledge of the English language, in one way or another. And speaking English is the most sought-after linguistic commodity of the modern era. 
 
There are two basic ways to improve your speaking skills, and they relate to vocabulary and pronunciation. Let's leave grammar aside for now, since, according to the UCLA Department of Linguistics, grammar skills are necessary only for the most advanced levels. 
 
What methods should I implement? 
 
When it comes to methods that can help you improve your speaking skills, there is a variety. But, not all of them work. Now, let's take a look at some of the best methods for improving speaking skills. 
 
Talking: You guessed it, the number one method for improving speaking skills is talking. No kidding. Simply put, the more you practice, the more you're going to improve. 
 
Reflect: Once you're done speaking, you need to reflect. Otherwise, how can you identify your mistakes and correct them? 
 
Recording: The best way to meaningfully reflect on your conversations is to record them, listen to yourself, and then write down all the mistakes you think you made. 
 
Relax: Yes, have fun with this. Could you not make it a stressful experience? You can't speak a foreign language when you're nervous, so let the words flow and learn from your mistakes. 
 
How often should I implement these methods? 
 
Put, as often as possible. If you want to learn, take every opportunity, even any free time, you have to learn English even if it means talking to yourself until you get tired of yourself. Talk, and as often as you can. 
 
And if you think you made a mistake, repeat it. If you didn't like the sound of it, repeat it. If you think you can do better, repeat repeat repeat repeat repeat. Practice makes perfect, and in this case, it's constant relentless practice! 
 
How can I speak English fluently step by step? 
 
Learning to speak English and learning to speak English fluently are two completely different issues. For beginners in language learning, fluency is a pipe dream, a dragon in the mountaintop cave, waiting to devour your soul as you try to fall. But it's not that bad, trust us. 
 
While it's true that fluency in any language is difficult to achieve, impossible, it's not! There are ways it can help you along the way to becoming a fluent speaker, and we're going to share the best ones with you. 
 
Read aloud: Reading English books improves your vocabulary and can probably help you with grammar as well. But, reading aloud is what enables you to become a more fluent speaker. How? Well, you'll be pronouncing the words that you would typically just read, thus adding to your active vocabulary. 
 
Practice pronunciation: Yes, this one follows on from the previous one. To be truly fluent, you must be confident in your pronunciation. If you start questioning yourself, if you start thinking about it, fluency disappears. 
 
Think it first, speak it later: Yes, although not many professionals apply it, visualizing sentences in your mind and practicing them in this way will make you speak more fluently. The sentences in your mind will be complicated to say out loud at first, but you will see how it can do wonders for your fluency as you continue. 
 
Start small: Don't say everything "have been" and "couldn't have" at first. Stick to the most basic sentences and grammar until you feel you can pronounce them without errors and pauses, and then build on this foundation. 
 
How can I improve my written English? 
 
It's not all about speaking English. You can find yourself in a difficult situation if you ignore the rules of spelling, punctuation, word order, or proper sentence structure when constructing sentences. 
 
But trust us, it's easier to improve writing than speaking skills, and for several reasons. Let's see what problems English learners in Los Angeles face when improving their writing skills below. 
 
How can I learn to spell correctly? 
 
When it comes to spelling, the bane of many English language learners, the rule is that there are no rules. Yes, there are some, but who has learned to spell by learning the rules of spelling? No one. 
 
So what can you do? How can you learn to spell? Is there a way out of that dark tunnel? Yes, there are ways. 
 
Common problems: Try to find a list of commonly misspelled words and try to memorize them. We know it's not fun, but it's beneficial. 
Make a list: If you notice you're misspelling the exact words, write them down on a piece of paper and highlight them, so they have a mental imprint in your mind. 
Learn the origin: Okay, maybe that's too much, but it works for some people. Knowing the word's source, reading about the story you are having difficulty with can help you stop making mistakes when spelling it. 
 
Yes, learning to spell is not particularly interesting for English learners, but it is necessary anyway. One last tip: write more often and get someone to correct your writing. 
 
How do I learn formal writing? 
 
It is essential for business. Writing in different styles is a valuable skill, as you may find yourself in a situation where everyday language will not suffice. Although we are saying different types, people often have more trouble accepting formal writing rules. 
 
Learning to use formal language in written correspondence takes some time, but it is pretty straightforward. There are established rules for starting an email or letter, ending it, using the correct headings, pronouns, etc. Once you learn how to write and spell, learning formal writing rules will be a breeze. 
 
Is there a place in LA where I can learn all this? 
 
Yes, there is! College of English Language (CEL) is the favorite English school in Los Angeles for many English learners who come to the United States to improve their language skills and continue their education. Once you witness all the attractions that Los Angeles has to offer, such as the Griffith Observatory, it's easy to understand why people flock to this fantastic city to study. 
 
As for CEL, what else can we tell you? Okay, that's fine. The staff at this school is stellar. You'll find the most prepared and efficient teachers of the English language. Combine this with the most modern language teaching methods and learning, all the latest technology in the classrooms, and a friendly learning environment. Well, you have a winning combination.

Second Conditional Practice

Students work in two groups to make questions (handouts A and B). Next, they move around to ask the questions and write the name of the person who answers “yes” (with appropriate form: Yes, I do; Yes, I have; or with a sentence). When they finish asking questions, they prepare sentences to tell the class what they found out about their classmates. Students may also write the final sentences in their notebooks. Have fun!
