To talk about an issue with preparation |
To give other learners a chance to speak |
Each year, many people in South Africa lose their lives due to accidents on our roads. Rules of the road are extremely important to ensure that accidents are avoided. They apply to the motorists, bus drivers and taxi drivers, but also to pedestrians and cyclists. People who ignore the rules of the road can endanger the lives of themselves and others.
We are going to take a closer look at the road situation in South Africa. Your teacher will divide you into groups of four and give you four topics to discuss. Each member of the group will choose a topic to report back on to the rest of the class. This will be a chance for you to express your own opinion, as well as that of your group. Each member in the group is expected to talk for 1 - 1½ minute. Study the assessment chart below to ensure that you are aware of what your teacher will be looking for as you speak.
The topics are as follows:
