Conversation Practice Whats your favourite pizza
hi this is the very first video in the
question tube series where we study a
new question every week to help build
your confidence with English
conversation our question this week is
what’s your favorite pizza I’ll show you
how to ask it how to answer it we’ll
listen to some real-world examples from
native English speakers and we’ll learn
a follow-up question to ask so we can
keep our conversation going and we’ll
learn when to ask this question so keep
watching
firstly let’s practice asking this
question what’s this is the contracted
form of what is so to sound more natural
ask what’s remember that the H is silent
so the most difficult part to pronounce
in this word is the consonant cluster
what’s what’s what’s your your this is
the unstressed word in our question so
we can reduce it to yeah yeah what’s
here what’s your favorite sometimes
you’ll hear this word pronounced with 3
syllables but most of the time you’ll
hear it with just 2 Fei fruit Fei fruit
Fei writ favorite favorite what’s your
favorite pizza lots of English learners
mispronounce this word saying Pisa or
pizza instead it actually has the same
consonant cluster as what’s P sir P sir
pizza because the answer to our question
is not yes or no then the intonation
needs to go down
at the end of our question what’s your
favorite pizza what’s your favorite
pizza
now your turn good one more time
me my favorite pizza is margarita now
what that’s right we need to think of a
follow-up question to us to keep our
conversation going maybe you’re thinking
Margot what maybe you don’t know what
type of pizza that is we can ask a
simple question what’s on it to find out
what ingredients are on a margherita
pizza what’s on it
here how all those words come together
to sound more natural you can say what’s
on it what’s on it what’s on it
it has mozzarella cheese fresh tomato
and basil
now practice asking your question and
here’s some native English speakers
answer you what’s your favourite pizza
remember to ask your follow-up question
what’s on it to keep your conversation
going
probably a a wine it’s a bit of a
controversial one because I know a lot
of people don’t like pineapple and their
pizzas but I actually really love
pineapple on my pizzas
or chase of three core ingredients
piggy in the middle
pig in the Middle’s a special pizza
because like it’s a pita with two bases
so they have the one base and it’s
really thin and then they put ham and
cheese basically on there but it’s like
really good quality like Italian ham and
really nice cheese and then they put
another top pizza base on top but
they’re both quite thin and then you
bake the whole thing so it’s like the
Piggy’s in the middle it’s really good
kind of like a pizza sandwich
my favorite pizza is thin base with
Sciuto cheese and big oh oh
amy has already answered your follow-up
question what else could we say Oh YUM
that sounds delicious
do you make it yourself great so we know
how to ask it and how to answer it let’s
look at when to ask this question when
asking any question in English it’s
important to make sure that your
question makes sense in the context so
if a group of people are talking about
motorbikes
it’s strange to come and say hey guys ah
what’s your favorite pizza a good time
to ask this question is if people are
eating pizza if you can see or smell
pizza if you’re walking past a pizza
shop or if people are already talking
about pizza then go ahead and ask this
question now what’s your favorite pizza
