Oral TASK:
Monologue 4-5 min
You
are a member of your local Landjugend
Organisation. Your friends want to improve their English - so you organise a
weekly evening about several topics. This week you want to present a new and controversial
project that aims to make customers aware of unfair trading conditions. In your
kick-off speech you are going to address the following issues:
- Explain why many of the products we buy are produced under unfair and inhumane conditions
- Describe the projects initiated in order to make customers more aware of what they are buying – think about measures everybody can take to help those poor people
- Outline what we as customers can do, in order to help people in developing countries improving their situation
Dialogue
After
your presentation you talk to a colleague. In your conversation you talk about
the following topics:
- why to buy fair trade products
- why it is better to buy local products than products from far away
- why buying locally is more difficult with clothes and how this problem could be solved
