How Does Our Mind Thinks

• We think in a very specific way and must understand this way:
• First we look at people. It is part of being human.
• Then we notice the surroundings and objects.
• We can then understand the action and what is happening.
• Finally, we understand the feelings and emotions.


How Does Our Mind Thinks

• We Must Understand the Order:
• After we notice the people we look at the surroundings.
If we are shown a picture for a few seconds, we can describe many things in our native language. It is easy because

Rules to Speak with Partners
Ask simple questions, and answer only that question then ask the same question.
After the other person answers, then ask another question.
Help and lead each other. Let both people speak. Don’t take all the good
information for yourself. Have fun and be relaxed.

Describe what is in your mind

Describing things is the easiest.
Remembering Vocabulary is the most difficult and confusing…..


Give as much information as you can every time you talk.

Don’t make people ask questions for more details.

Give people information to ask questions about what you say, not trying to figure out what
you say.

No: yes I do, me too….. And you? How about you>


You must use your own ideas and experience

because then you don’t have to memorize anything.
