Feedback & Error Correction from Speaking Exercise

• Turn hesitations into pauses through the use of fillers and "chunking" your speech into phrases. Speak in phrases not words.
• Word stress - e.g. Necessary
• Pronounce your plural endings and check noun-verb agreement
• Word forms e.g. advantage (noun) - advantageous (adjective)
• Relative pronouns - don't overuse that - not always accurate - instead use who, which, where, when to avoid mistakes.

Homework answers - Adverbs

1: very, 2: entirely, 3: highly, 4: highly, 5: extremely, 6: really, 7: essential, 8: really/utterly, 9: fairly, 10: very.
If you have made mistakes look back at the examples and consider the overall meaning of the sentence  (e.g. 5, 9) or whether the adverb is part of a collocation e.g. highly qualified, highly motivated.
