🎯 Today’s Mission In our recent lessons, we have learned how to: - identify the gap between our current level and our next level - develop an answer instead of stopping after one sentence - explain reasons and add specific examples - listen actively and ask meaningful follow-up questions - use productive struggle to strengthen our English - speak in thought groups with stress, rhythm, and meaning In Part 5, we learned: B1 speakers answer the question. B2 speakers develop the conversation. Today, we will take the next step: B1 speakers can express an opinion. B2 speakers can explain, support, and defend it. To move toward B2 and beyond, you must be able to: - state a clear position - explain your reasoning - provide evidence or examples - recognize another perspective - respond thoughtfully - reach a balanced conclusion 🔥 Opening Output Challenge: Choose a Side Answer this question: Is daily English practice more important than having a great teacher? Choose one position: Position A: Daily practice is more important. Position B: Having a great teacher is more important. Round 1: Immediate Response Speak for 30 seconds without preparing. Do not worry about giving a perfect answer. Choose a position and explain why. Round 2: Stronger Response Now speak for 60–90 seconds and include: 1. Your position 2. Your main reason 3. A specific example 4. The opposite perspective 5. Your final conclusion You may use keywords, but do not write a complete script. Think clearly. Speak confidently. Support your idea. 🔄 Quick Review: Expand the Idea In Part 5, we used this five-step strategy: Answer → Explain → Example → Result → Next Step Practice it with this question: What is one skill you need to improve to reach your next English level? Example: “One skill I need to improve is responding without preparation. This is important because I sometimes know the vocabulary but cannot retrieve it quickly during a conversation. For example, when someone asks me an unexpected question at work, I may pause for too long or give a very short answer. As a result, I do not always communicate at the level I know I am capable of. My next step is to record a one-minute spontaneous response every day.”
