[PC1.1]
2. During your conversation you must use clear and concise language. In addition to this you must select and use at least two other oral communication strategies, such as: [PC1.2]
• Vary your tome and pitch to maintain interest.
• Use silence / pauses for dramatic effect
• Ask open (not closed) questions
• Any other suitable oral communication strategy. (Discuss this with your assessor first.)
Part 2:
Have a 3- to 5-minute conversation with your assessor about your selected topic. You must demonstrate your ability to:
• Initially identify your audience and describe the purpose of the talk. [PC1.1]
• Use all of the oral communication techniques selected above (in Part 1). [PC2.1]
• Use appropriate grammar including, at minimum, each of the following: [Partial PC2.2]
o Every sentence must possess one noun and one verb.
