SPEAKING: Choose and Give Reasons

• Football game or the circus?• Be careful NOT to give one reason

expressed in different words. For example, don’t say “Football game, because it’s my favorite and it’s what I like most.” This is ONE reason expressed in two different ways.

• It’s okay to give a negative response. For example, if you chose “circus”, then you could say: “Circus, because I don’t enjoy watching football.” This implies that you prefer the circus over a football game.
