Spoken English II (Eng 323)

Short Notes and Exercises

1
Unit One: Speaking in face to face interaction

Minimum learning competences for the unit (MLC)

By the end of this unit, you will be able to use formal and informal expressions to:

 Apologize
 Compliment and praise others
 Ask, accept, and reject apologies
 Congratulate successes of others
1. Asking for apology and excuse

People ask for apologies for numerous reasons: Some of these may include:

 When they hurt others

 When they feel guilty of their actions or comments that they made about other people
 When they understand other people’s comments wrongly
 When they miss or being late for class or meeting
 When they are impolite
 When they use someone’s property without permission
 When they dial to wrong number
 When they sneeze,cough, burp, and yawn among others and so on.
 When their (children, relatives, and guests) and their pets make social errors.

In fact ‘I am Sorry’ does not necessarily mean apology. People say sorry in order to sympathize.

Example: A: I am sorry to hear that you were ill for some time. (Sympathy)

B: Thank you I am totally recovered now

A: I am sorry for not doing my homework on time (apology)

B: That is alright. Please make sure taking it seriously next time

2
‘Pardon’ also does not necessarily imply apology. It sometimes used to ask people to repeat what
they said.

Example: Teacher: You must complete the assignments until Monday.

Student: Pardon?

Teacher: I said that you must finish all the assignments until Monday

Common useful expressions for apology and excuses

I am sorry I haven’t meant to hurt you.

1.2 Complimenting and praising

What is complimenting?

In order to enhance their social life, people often give each other compliments. That means they
praise each other on their appearances, performances, personalities, and belongings (house, car,
clothes and etc.) As a result they use adjectives like nice, good, beautiful, pretty, and great.

Examples of compliments and their possible replies

Compliments Possible replies
This office really looks great! Thank you , it is nice of you to say so
What a beautiful shirt you have on? Thanks, my brother bought it for me from
Turkey
You are really a great cook! Everything You like them? Thank you , I am happy to
was delicious hear that from you
Those shoes look good on you. Thank you, but they are pretty old.

3
 I like your hair style Thanks, yours is also nice

1.3 Congratulations

People often congratulate each other on remarkable successes in order to show that they
are happy for each other’s successes. For example if someone has won a scholarship,
has scored the highest mark in exam, has got married, has graduated from college, and so
on.Congratulations are worthless if they are not from the heart. Sincerity is very
important. In offering our congratulations, we can mention why the success was deserved
and express our good withes warmly but without exaggeration.

Examples

 Good for you Kuma! You made an excellent presentation. We are all proud of you.
 Congratulation Biftu. I heard just now that you have scored all the courses an’ A’. You
have worked hard for it. Keep it up!
 Genzebe, I think it’s just wonderful! You not only won the race, but you broke the record.
I know you’ll make the finest professional athlete, too.
 May I offer my Congratulations, Chaltu. The news of your appointment as the leader of
the English Club in our college makes us all feel; proud. I know you’re going to be
successful.

How to accept congratulations

We accept congratulations simply; an expression of ‘thank you’ is enough.

Examples

 Thank you. I was very glad to win.

 Thanks very much. It was a close game, wasn’t it?
 Thank you, Roba. I have always wanted to go to Oxford. This scholarship now makes it
possible.
 Thanks, Gamada. I appreciate your congratulations, but really the credit should go to the
whole club.

2.2 Asking for clarification

When people ask for clarification, they are asking information re-explained for better
understanding. It is different from asking repetition. Here is how you can respectfully get the
information that you need from others. The first step is to tell the person that you are not sure
that you have understood them fully. Let’s see to a few useful phrases:

 I’m sorry but I’m not sure (that) I understand.

 Sorry, I’m not sure (that) I know what you mean.
 Sorry but I don’t quite follow you.
Using the word “that” in first two of the phrases is more suited for formal written
communication.

Other times, you may understand part of what someone has said but need clarity on
another part. In such situations, you can be more exact. Let’s see few examples:

 I’m sorry but I’m not sure I understand what you mean by "tech giants."
Sorry but I don’t quite follow what you’re saying about the new policy. Ask for
clarification

After you express your lack of understanding, the next step is to ask the person to clarify
what they have said. Here are some phrases you can use.

For many of them, you can use “can” or “could,” with being a little more formal:

 Could you say it in another way?

 Can you clarify that for me?
 Could you rephrase that?
When you say…, do you mean…?situations, the following are useful:

 Could you be more specific?

 Can you give me an example?
 Could you elaborate on that?
“Could you elaborate on that?” is usually more suited to formal situations, such as in the
workplace.

The following are expressions for lack of understanding.

7
When you fail to understand what has been said to you, you can use these expressions:

 I beg your pardon?

 I beg your pardon, but I don't quite understand.
 I'm not quite sure I know what you mean.
 I'm not quite sure I follow you.
 I don't quite see what you mean.
 I'm not sure I got your point.
 Sorry, I didn't quite hear what you said.
 Sorry, I didn't get your point.
 I don't quite see what you're getting at.

Expressions for asking clarification

When you don't understand what someone has said, you can ask for clarification using
the following expressions:

 What do you mean by...?

 Do you mean...?
 Could you say that again, please?
 Could you repeat please?
 Could you clarify that, please?
 Would you elaborate on that , please?
 Could you be more explicit?
 Could you explain what you mean by...?
 Could you give us an example?
 I wonder if you could say that in a different way.
 Could you put it differently, please?

Just a second, could I get a little more clarification on (X topic)? I just want to be sure I
understood. Clarifying one's point or idea
Expressions for clarifying ideas:

 Let me explain that...

 Let me explain that in more detail...
 Let me put it in another way...
 Sorry let me explain...
 In other words...
 To say this differently...
 To put it differently...

Responses after clarification

 Oh, I see
 It’s all very clear now
 Oh, yes

8
  Thank you

2.3 Asking for repetition

People need to know how to ask for repetition in English either they are native speakers or
English learners because they may be in situations that they don’t hear what someone has said.

Asking for Repetition Formally:

 Can you repeat that?

 Can you say that again?
 Would you mind repeating that for me again?
 Would you mind going over that one more time?
 Sorry, could I ask you to tell me that (piece of information) again?
 Sorry to interrupt, but I didn’t catch that. Could you run it by me one more time?
 I don’t think I got your meaning. Could you go over that again?
 I don’t think I quite understand what you meant. Would you mind repeating that?
 I beg your pardon?

Informal ways of asking for repetition

 Sorry?
 I'm sorry?
 Pardon?'
 Huh?
 What?
 Eh?
 Excuse me?
 Pardon me?

2.4 Asking for, giving, accepting and declining advice

Look at the following table to learn how you ask for advice, give, accept and decline.

Asking for advice Giving advice Accepting advice Rejecting advice

What do you think I If I were you I -Yes, I agree with -I’m sorry. I can’t agree
should do? would/wouldn’t…. that with that

What ought I to do?
Your only option is

Have you tried…?

N.B Sometimes people could be in position that they cannot give valuable advice to
others. In that case they may tell directly that they may not able to give advice in the
way that they are sympathize the other party.

Example

 I wish I could suggest something, but I can’t.

 I don’t know what to advise, I’m afraid.
 I’m afraid I can’t really help you.

Model Dialogue

Student: I'm terrible at English and I think I should do something about it. What do you

advise me to do?

UNIT THREE: Describing people and Place

Minimum learning Competence (MLC)
At the end of the lesson you will be able to:
 Describe people with correct adjectives
 Describe place with correct adjectives
 Use adjectives to describe people and place with correct order.

People use adjectives when they need to describe people and places. Adjectives are words that
describe or modify a person/thing/place/concept (i.e. a noun or a noun phrase) in a sentence.
English language speakers place adjectives before the noun or noun phrase that they modify. If
two adjectives describe a noun, use ‘and’ to link the adjectives. If there are more than two
adjectives, English language speakers use commas at first, then use ‘and ‘before the last
adjective (it is rare to have more than three adjectives in a row):

Describing people
Look at the following small descriptions of Jalale and Befa. Pay attention to the underlined
adjectives:

Jalale is small, but she is strong . Jalale is sometime shy around people she doesn’t know. But
with her friends and family she is very outgoing Jalale has got pretty smile.
Bifa is tall and athletic.He plays different sports: basketball and football. He has short hair and
big eyes. His friends say he is friendly and nice. He is also very open. He loves discussing
interesting ideas and meeting new friends.

When indefinite pronouns (i.e. something, someone, anybody) are modified by an adjective,
theadjective comes after the pronoun:
Example
 We watched something fascinating on the news tonight.
 In Washington DC you always see something new.

Adjectives are very often associated with nouns, and describe various attributes of the noun:
- size: a small company, a big house

11
- shape: a round table, the Oval Office
- age: a young man, an old establishment
- color: blue skies, a red carpet
- origin: a Japan car, the Spanish football team
- material: a wooden house, a marble building

N.B You can easily create adjectives with many verbs (not all!) if you add the –ed or –ing
endings to the verb. However, be careful to make a distinction between the two! Generally, the -
ed ending means that the noun described is the receiver of the action implied by the original verb.
The -ing ending means that the noun described is the actor:
 Examples: The news is dramatic. I am shocked. (the news shocks you)
 BUT I hate shocking documentaries. (the documentaries shock you)
Describing place
Look at the following description and underline the adjectives the writer used to depict the city.

Name Kowloon Walled City Location: ChinaName: Kowloon Walled City Location:
China
Hundreds of years ago, it was a Chinese fort and only soldiers lived there. Then in the early 20th
century, the soldiers left and squatters* moved in. By 1980, the 0.03km2 city had 500 buildings
inside its walls and 33,000 residents lived there. The city was crowded, dirty and full of rubbish.
People called it ‘the city of darkness’ because the buildings were so high, there was no sunlight
in the narrow streets below.
Self –testing activity
1. Write a short description one member your family. Try to use as many adjectives as
possible
2. Write a short paragraph that describes your village.

UNIT FOUR : EXTENDED SPEAKING

 Define extended speaking.

 Describe the advantages of extended speaking in language classes.
 List the techniques applied in the classroom to promote extended speaking.
 Practice each technique at your training session

4.1 Definition

Extended speaking is free speaking in which the speaker uses relatively a longer time without
any interruption or breaks. Talks made in meeting, rituals, and reconciliation etc are good
examples of extended speaking. Particular to formal language classrooms, it is defined as a type
of speaking activity that involves learners speaking for longer periods of time and in a freer form
12
than controlled speaking practice. In language classrooms there is a chance to involve individual
student in longer speeches as the intention is to attain better language proficiency. Extended
speaking gives opportunity to students to practice all the skills needed for communication.

4.2. Techniques Applied in Promoting Extended Speaking

There are multiples of teaching techniques that give an opportunity to students to talk more in
the classroom. The intension of these techniques is to help students practice speaking so that they
gradually develop their oral proficiency and become more confident and fluent speakers.

4.2.1. Asking for and Giving Information

It is natural that people use their senses to engage in the activities of looking for
information and reacting to information. In formal language classrooms students are likely to
share information orally. In language classrooms teachers may design activities in which the
students can ask and elicit longer responses from their partners.

There are useful formal expressions in English language which we may use to ask and give
information. Look at the following table closely.

Asking for Information Positive replies Negative replies

Can you tell me...?
Sure. I’m sorry, I can’t
Could you tell me...?
Yes. I’m afraid, I can’t
I'd like to know...

Could anyone tell Yes. Of course. I’m sorry I don’t have

me...? any idea.
Yes, certainly.
(Do /Would) you
happen to know...? I’d be happy.
I wonder if you could
tell me...?

I wonder if someone
could tell me...?

 talking about last weekend to a friend;

 giving details about something happened during a job interview;
 relating information about one’s family to children;
