Presentations and Discussions
Train the oral skills the curriculum actually assesses: structured presentations, real discussion where you build on what others say, and argumentation that survives follow-up questions.

Just enough theory to use it
Oral English is assessed on more than pronunciation. In a presentation, the examiner looks for structure (a clear opening, body and close), signposting that guides the listener, and audience awareness. In discussions, the curriculum is explicit: you must be able to account for other people's arguments and follow them up – not just deliver your own. That is why active listening and turn-taking are skills, not politeness. The strongest oral performances use the classic appeals – ethos, logos, pathos – and meet counterarguments instead of ignoring them.
