Lesson #118 — English A1 Speaking & Writing Practice
Topic: asking someone to repeat a message, giving a clear reply, and writing a short follow-up message.
Short review from previous lessons:
- We have practiced words like time, early, and message in simple communication.
- We also practiced short replies and polite writing.
- Today we continue with a very useful speaking skill: asking for words again and giving a clear answer.
Lesson overview:
- Use repeat when you want someone to say the same words again.
- Use clear when speech or writing is easy to understand.
- Use reply for an answer in speech or writing.
- Use again when you want one more time.
- Use message for a short written communication.
5 useful words:
1. repeat — ri-PEET — say again
2. clear — kleer — easy to understand
3. reply — ri-PLY — answer
