SPEAKING | Asking for Information
- Practice using the questions: Try asking these questions, either with a partner or on your own. This will help you improve your speaking skills.
- Apply the questions in real situations: Use these questions when you're looking for a flat to rent or in similar situations, either in everyday life or classroom activities.
- Focus on variety in your questions: The questions not only ask about the flat's physical details but also help you understand terms like "small" in specific contexts. Be precise when asking.
