Sports Presentations

A sporting event mini-presentations

 

Student A

Speak as long as you can about one particular sporting event which you saw, e.g. a school sports day, a football match, or a race. If you can’t think of a suitable live event you can talk about something on TV (preferably a whole event you saw, but if not just highlights is also okay).

 

Useful starting phrases

“Yesterday/ The day before yesterday/ On Monday/ Last week/ Last month/ Last year/ When I was…/ … ago”

“I watched…”

“I went to the… stadium and…”

“Someone gave me a ticket to…”

“I really wanted to see…”
