This section can practice students' speaking skills and guide them to know how to use the structures correctly in the daily life. Junior high school students have already had the ability to talk about problems and give proper advice to others. Group work is applied as a post-learning exercise. By activating the students' speaking ability, it can effectively enable students to practice the newly learned phrases and structures.
