Task A – Individual presentation
Given the situation, you now have:
· 2 minutes to prepare your responses
· 2 minutes to present
Tips:
· Study the scenario or topic given carefully
· Double check which candidate you are (A, B, C, D) to make sure you don’t prepare another candidate’s speech
· Make sure you don’t run out of topic
· Prepare 2 to 3 points to present on
· You MUST agree with the point that is given to you (you can disagree or favor another point in Task B)
· Make full use of the 2 minutes that you have. Don’t go less than 1 minute 45 seconds / more than 2 minutes.

· Don’t relax after your turn! Keep an attentive ear to what the other candidates are talking about.
· Write down the other students’ answers as they present their 2-minute speech (to prepare yourself for Task B)
