Parenting Styles and Child Rearing in the 21st Century (Speaking Worksheet)

In this C2 Speaking Worksheet students talk about different issues having to do with being parents and whether parents can be friends with their children, different parenting styles (more lax vs more authoritarian vs more controlling ones, etc.) and whether kids should be having way too many extracurricular activities. 

Students revise C2 Grammar contents like the use of Negative clauses + Nor, the use of ellipis and substitution and advanced use of superlatives, with examples so you can see them in action.

In the section Speaking Skills, we look at different ways of agreeing and disagreeing (more formally and colloquially), in a conversation or discussion. Again, all the expressions in this section come with C2 level examples so you can see them in action.

Some phrasal verbs are given to help them express their ideas more accurately, together with C2 idioms and C2 vocabulary to speak about the topic at length.

This C2 speaking activity includes speaking questions to get your students talking, so they integrate all the C2 contents in the worksheet while they speak. The C2 Conversation Questions in this section help organize either a presentation or an interaction with ease, grace, and flow, taking out the added stress of not knowing what one should be using at the C2 level.

You can also download the teacher and student feedback templates at the bottom of the downloads box. With them, you will be able to give your students well-structured individual feedback to take home in every lesson.
