Step 3 Speaking

Don’t you think that...?

I don’t think that’s right...

I don’t think so.

You must be mistaken...

No, you are wrong thinking about...

I’m afraid you’re wrong...?

Aren’t you confusing...?

I’m not so sure about that...

Surely it must be...

Yes, you are right, but...

I believe that you’ve got it right.

Yes, I agree with you.

Sample dialogues:

Situation 1:

A: I don’t think learning a language is so difficult. When you live in a

country where you speak that language, you can hear it and

practise it every day.

B: well, that would certainly be helpful, but not everybody can go

abroad. Besides, it should be possible to learn a language well

before going to another country.

C: I agree with A.

B: I think it depends on yourself. Of course you have to spend

enough time on learning.

D: Do you think it’s a matter of time?

B: Yes. You are right. Time is the most important. The more time

you take to practise, the better you’ll be.

A: That depends on you. It’s hard to tell, but for easy languages

such as English you can learn a lot in only a few hundred hours.

D: Some people spend a whole lifetime without really learning much.

C: Very funny! It sounds nice, but some languages are too difficult.

Take Chinese, for example, how many hours does it take to learn

that?

B: Yes. That’s a good example. Chinese takes perhaps four or five

times more time to learn than English or Spanish.

D: You mean for somebody whose language isn’t English or Chinese?

B: Exactly.

C: I disagree. I think you are wrong thinking that it will take anyone a

short time to learn English, but a long time to learn Chinese. Both

English and Chinese are very different. That’s why it takes

Englishmen a long time to learn Chinese. But then it should work the

other way around as well. Because they are so different, it will take

Chinese people four times more time to learn English than for

example somebody who speaks Spanish.

Situation 2:

A: Of course it is easy to learn geography by reading a book and

studying a map. You just look at the map and remember where

places are. It’s as simple as that.

B: I’m not so sure about that. I haven’t really thought about it

before, but I think the only geography I know very well is that of

China. Of other countries I have some idea where places are,

but it feels different from the way I know it for China.

A: Surely it must be possible to learn it from maps. How else can

you teach geography?

C: Well. It sounds as if both of you are right, in a way. I agree that

what you can learn from a map is not exactly the same as when

you go somewhere.

A: Oh here’s another. Don’t you think you can study a map and then

find your way through the mountains? There, you see.

D: Yes, you are right, but you wouldn’t really know where the

mountains are, how high they are and how broad. Isn’t that what

you are think of?

B: Yes, you are right.

C: Of course it should be like that. After all, maps are only

representations of the country. They are a bit like a model.

D: I believe you’ve got it right. Maps are not the real thing. You

cannot learn everything from books. You have to experience

things to make it real and meaningful.
