- Now it’s your turn to talk about the weather. Every pair is given two situations and you are supposed to give a two minute talk on them. First take it in turns to deliver a two minute monologue on each situation. Then two students will introduce their monologues to the whole class. You have two – three minutes to be ready. After listening to your partner’s answer you are supposed to analyze it and mark it.
