Hi Pelawat,

Many students wrote to me and said that this cue card makes them uncomfortable, so today we are going to do something about it!

The cue card is similar to this one:

Describe a city that you think is very interesting. You should say:

- where it is

- what it is famous for

- how you know about this city

- and explain why you think it is very interesting.

Watch the video below to learn what you can say about a city that you think is very interesting:

How to talk about a city that you think is very interesting

Now choose a city that you would like to talk about. If nothing comes to mind straight away, think of a city you would love to visit one day. From there on it will only take a few minutes to Google some facts on your dream destination, and you'll probably uncover some interesting things in the process!

Did you find this video helpful? Put a like to let me know 😉

What's next?

Pelawat, that's actually a question for YOU. Let me know what topic or question in Speaking scares you the most, and I will cover it in my next video.

Looking forward to your reply.

Warm regards,

Simone Braverman
