SPEAKING: Choose and Give Reasons For example: Would you prefer to go to a football game or to the circus? Give two reasons for your choice. (Think about it silently)

SPEAKING: Choose and Give Reasons Football game or the circus? Be careful NOT to give one reason expressed in different words. For example, don’t say “Football game, because it’s my favorite and it’s what I like most.” This is ONE reason expressed in two different ways. It’s okay to give a negative response. For example, if you chose “circus”, then you could say: “Circus, because I don’t enjoy watching football.” This implies that you prefer the circus over a football game.
