Understand: A short model
This profile is fictional.
Mia's keywords: 10 · Freiburg · brother · dog Milo · drawing · football · English · art · friends
Model:
Hi, I'm Mia. I'm ten years old and I live in Freiburg. In my family, I have got one brother. We have got a dog called Milo. In my free time, I like drawing and playing football. At school, I like English and art. After school, I often play with Milo or meet my friends. I like Fridays because we sometimes play football together. That's all about me.
Check: Which words from the keyword list did you hear?
Repeat: Speak in chunks
Say one line. Then look away and say it again.
- Hi, I'm ...
- I'm ... years old.
- I live in ...
- In my family, ...
- I have got ...
- In my free time, I like ...
- At school, I like ...
- My favourite ... is ...
- I like it because ...
- That's all about me.
Pronunciation goal: Speak clearly enough to be understood. You do not need a perfect accent.
Grammar in use
Use grammar to say something about your life.
| What you want to say | Useful form | Example |
|---|---|---|
| routine or fact | present simple | I play football on Fridays. |
| something you have | have got | I have got a dog. |
| something you like | like + noun or verb-ing | I like music. / I like drawing. |
| connect ideas | and, but, because | I like school because I meet my friends. |
Do not make the language harder than necessary. Short correct sentences are better than long unclear sentences.
Use: Build your one-minute talk
Choose six to eight keyword prompts. Do not write a full speech.
| Prompt | Your keyword |
|---|---|
| name / age | ... |
| family | ... |
| pet | ... |
| hobby | ... |
| school | ... |
| favourite | ... |
| friend or free time | ... |
| ending | ... |
Now speak. Look at your keywords only when you need help.
Extra listening by topic
Choose one video only if it fits your topic.
Hobbies video
Listen for: I like ... and I love ...
Family video
Listen for family words and short descriptions.
Pet video
Listen for simple sentences about a pet.
Feedback: Try again
After your first try, use this short check.
- Could I understand the main topic?
- Did you use at least five connected sentences?
- Did you use one connector such as and, but or because?
- Did you speak from keywords instead of reading a full text?
Partner feedback: I understood ... · One more sentence about ... · Please say ... again.
Then speak a second time and improve one thing.
Privacy: Audio or video recordings are voluntary. Keep them private unless you and your teacher explicitly choose otherwise. Do not upload recordings or personal data without permission.
KI-Hilfe: You may use AI to check a short phrase, but check the result and keep your own language production. Do not let an AI write or speak your whole one-minute talk for you.
Mini-Wiederholung

I like ... . I also ... . I like it because ... .
