Getting started, keeping going and dealing with writing blocks

The following task should help you to explore, for yourself, the relationship between speaking and writing. You will need to work with a fellow student to help you with this task and you will need a tape recorder to record your conversation. This task will be useful practice for drawing on discussions and other course-related talk for your writing. [Pg.7]

Work in pairs. Think about an assignment that you are having difficulty with at the moment. [Pg.7]

Tape yourself (for no more than ten minutes) having a conversation with your friend about the problems that you are having with this piece of work. [Pg.7]

When you have finished, both of you should take a blank piece of paper, and without listening to the tape again write about the things that came out in your conversation. [Pg.7]

Discuss your writing with your friend. Do you both think that it really reflects what you said [Pg.7]
