Exercise 1

Find an interesting speech on the internet, for example one of the TED talks. After listening to it a couple times, answer the following questions:
    • Did you notice anything about the language: vocabulary and grammar? Was the vocabulary simple and easy to understand?
    • Were the structures simple?
    • What did you think about the style? Was it appropriate?
    • What about the speaker’s attitude? Was he or she enthusiastic about the topic? Would you believe them?
