Independent Speaking Task #2

Hello and Happy New Year from Chromatic English!!

I hope everyone had a great holiday and enjoyed great times with family and friends.

But now,

Back to practicing English, Hooray!!

Speaking Task #2

Read the short paragraph (out loud) and answer the questions below.

Car Navigation Systems

People usually take a map with them when they visit unfamiliar places. These days, however, many cars have navigation systems. These systems show drivers where they are and how to reach their destinations. Drivers can even hear directions from the systems, so they can drive safely and comfortably without looking at a map.

Questions
1. According to the passage, why can drivers drivve safely and comfortably without looking at a map?

2. Do you own a car?
          If yes, what kind of car do you drive?
          If no, would you like to have a car?

3. How do you feel about drunk driving in your country?
    What measures can be taken to prevent people from drunk driving?

4. Do you think more people will drive electric cars in the future?

**Helpful Hints**

Remember to keep answers clear and short, no need to mumble or drag on about nothing.
When asked a 'why' question start your answer with 'Because..."
Be honest with your answers, don't just say what you think is the right answer, 'No, I don't own a car. I would like to have an American 1967 Ford Mustang super muscle car.' If it's true then alright but honesty, 'I would like to have a mini-van to take my kids camping on weekends.' sounds better.
