Tiffany and today we are going to learn
part one of the first secret to speaking
English this secret will improve your

in English are you ready
well then let’s jump right in one of the
foundations of speaking English is being
able to properly express your thoughts
and feelings logically in other words
special emphasis is placed on being able
to logically express yourself when
speaking whether it is an answer to a
question or simply in a conversation it
is very important to give support for
your opinion it is this support that is
the foundation of your answer or speech
but how do you know if you have properly
supported your answer you do this by
using the web if you think about your
English ability as being a building the
web is the foundation of that building
it is your starting point and the
support for the middle and ending
portion of your response the first step
of the web is to determine what will be
the main idea for your response or
spoken opinion this main idea becomes
the center of your web at this point
your goal is not to write sentences
instead your only goal is to write
simple notes now after you have clearly
designated the main idea for your
response the next step is to select
three of the 5w
what are the five W’s well they are who
when where what and why these will
become the starting point for the
support of your main idea the web has
three branches at this point each of
these branches represents one of the
five W’s you may choose any three of the
five W’s that you would like now after
selecting the three that you would like
to use as the support for your main idea
you will then write down a short note
relating to the selected W for example
if you choose who what and why you will
write something like this who the person
related to your main idea what more
information about the main idea or what
happened that relates to the idea why
why the main idea occurred or why the
main idea was chosen this becomes the
basis of your response now let’s do one
