Say Exactly What You Mean

Get 64 precise verbs speaking cards for intermediate learners that take B1-B2 adult students beyond look, walk, say, change and show - glance, stare, peer, stroll, march, creep, mention, admit, insist, point out, adjust, transform, demonstrate, reveal - and get them saying exactly what they mean in real conversations about their life, work and plans.

• Learn 32 precise verbs with word cards that give the grammar pattern (glance at, peer through, admit -ing, insist on -ing, warn sb not to, replace sth with), a simple meaning and a talk task about the student's own life: what they glance at first in the morning, when they last had to rush, what their family insists on, what they should replace at home but haven't, what their desk reveals about them.
• Tell apart verbs that students mix up with sixteen close-but-different pairs: glance or stare, gaze or peer, glimpse or spot, stroll or march, creep or sneak, mention or point out, admit or claim, adjust or transform, demonstrate or display; one question for each verb and a follow-up task on every card where the student has to use both in the same situation.
• Use precise verbs in real-life situations with sixteen B2 role-plays: reporting an error to a manager, giving a product demo, admitting a deleted file, a stubborn colleague, a late supplier, a surprise party, a lost tourist, a pushy shop assistant, a noisy neighbour, a damaged order; the chip on every card names three verbs the student must use naturally, every card adds a teacher twist the student must react to, and there is no model answer on the card - the student produces the language.
