The teacher will divide the class into two groups. Then, she
will give some description of five places, and the students
answer it as soon as they know what the places are. The
fastest group who answer the description correctly wins the
game.

interesting? Have you ever gone to the places?
b. Where do you usually go to spend your holiday?

informing or entertaining.
It has 3 rhetorical steps (generic structure):

3. c. Re-orientation: optional-closure of events.
Language Features
The use of general nouns (e.g vacation, travel)
The use of relating verbs (e.g was, were, had)
The use of past tense (e.g We saw our travel agent
and booked our tickets.)
C. Example:
I. A video recording of people performing their speeches: ‘My best holiday’
II. How to Make an Outline
• Reorientation must include who (people), where (place), what
(the event), when (time), why, and how.
• Sequence of events mean what happened during that time. The
events must be put in order.
• Reorientation is what happened at the end.
• In the outline make sure you only write the topic sentences and
you may use points.
• Use first person.

for shearing the next day. Then it was time
for tea (that's what my nanna calls dinner).
