Discuss these questions with
your partners
Ask someone in your class:
Have you studied lots of grammar rules over the
years?
Or spent a long time studying vocabulary?
So
Which one is more important for
you?
Which one will help you become more fluent?
The shape or the meaning?
cubical
cylindrical
straight
curved

Sure, you know the previous shape
words. Can you explain them to your
partners with your own words?
Coming back to our topic, well, actually
neither grammar nor vocabulary will help
you become more fluent!!!!
