Fluency Practice

English language speed and fluency practice to help you improve your speaking.

CD track 26 - southern English-

woman and Canadian woman

Here are six quick activities for you to improve your pronunciation and fluency. Answer the questions as quickly as possible, and try not

to think too much. Later, you can check your answers. You need to study the phrasal verbs and idioms page before attempting these

exercises. (Answers on page 24.)

A: Tongue Twister

Try repeating this ten times as quickly as you can:

“A proper, copper coffee pot.”

D: Rapid response – Sport

Now answer these questions as quickly as you can. Try not to think too

much and just invent the answers if you need to.

1. What extreme sports have you done?

2. Who’s your favourite sports personality?

3. What’s your favourite team sport?

4. Which sport do you hate?

5. What’s your favourite winter sport?

B: Pronunciation: connected speech with wolf idioms

Listen to these sentences and see if you can write down the words that you

hear. Remember, some words are weak sounds and are unstressed, and as

a result they are very difficult to hear.

1. ___________________

2. ___________________

3. ___________________

4. ___________________

5. ___________________

E: Phrasal Verbs with “Pull”

Listen to each sentence then repeat it with an appropriate phrasal verb.

You should try to be as quick as possible.

1. They’re going to destroy the building = ____________________

2. The police arrested a suspect = ____________________

3. They stopped forming part of the agreement = ________________

4. The police officer told me to stop the car = __________________

5. He separated the parts of the toy = ____________________

F: Revision Drills – 3rd Person Singular

Listen to these questions and answer them as quickly as possible. They are

designed to practise the 3rd person singular in the affirmative. Invent an

answer, and do it as quickly as possible with a full sentence. Use the verb

in brackets ( ), and remember the “s” at the end of the verb.

1. (go) ___________________

2. (work) _________________

3. (live) ___________________

4. (drive) ___________________

5. (play) ___________________

C: Sentence transformation – Sport

Listen to these sentences and try to make a ques-

tion with the word “you” for each one. Do it as

quickly as you can. Use the question words in

brackets ( ).

1. I play tennis once a week. (What) ________

_________________?

2. I once got a medal in a swimming competi-

tion (Have) _________________?

3. It’s probably football – everyone loves it.
