As you know, I usually try to provide you with a summary of your speaking practice. I hope it has a positive effect on your progress.

You also described a family member and your best friend.

You talked about different types of families and your upbringing as well.

You used a wide range of adjectives:

 In your interaction you managed to use some functional language:

You look/seem/sound...
Do you know what?
You must be joking
That can´'t be true.
Seriously?
Really?
What a shame!
How exciting/How boring! How interesting!!
What a good idea!
What a nice teacher!


You practised using USED TO.
I used to live in Australia, but now I live in Spain. 
I used to go clubbing, but now I don´t do it any more.


You tried to make a few comparisons.


 You talked about RULES:

My teacher made me...
He didn´t let me...
I was not allowed to...
I had to...
He didn´t allow me to...


You all tried to organise your ideas before doing your monologue and your interaction, which is very useful.


I hope this helps.
