Question

Work in pairs. Imagine you have to give a presentation tomorrow in class and you're terrified. Use the phrases in the language box and the suggestions below to act out a dialogue similar to the one in Ex. 1.

Answer

A: You don't look very happy. Are you OK?

B: I have to give a presentation tomorrow and I'm terrified.

A: Oh no. I'm sorry to hear that. You must be really nervous. Why don't you imagine yourself giving a great speech? That might help to relax you.

B: I've tried that before. It didn't really help.

A: What about if you take deep breaths, don't worry about getting it perfect and just relax and be yourself?

B: That's not a bad idea.

A: I'm sure if you go over your noted then get an early night that will help, too.

B: Good idea! I'll give it a try.
