?Don’t repeat the greeting the teacher uses.

?Don’t use “I’m fine. And you?”

2.Be prepared to not only answer questions, but also ask questions.

?Unvoiced TH

?Voiced TH

4.When presented with a written sentence by the teacher, be prepared to say the

Notes:

Remember, it’s much better to speak slowly and smoothly rather than fast. You don’t get ext ra points for speaking fast! And speaking more slowly helps you feel less nervous. So I recommend that you keep reminding yourself to speak more slowly.
