Chrissytd Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 What would be a good oral topic for my Spanish B oral assessment? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abu Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 It has to be related to Spanish culture. You could even do it on the gang problems in Mexico or the Monarchy in Spain. You need to come up with something. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissytd Posted November 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Even though I don't take the assessment until May, my teacher wants to know our topics now so it doesn't conflict with orals we are doing in class. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paige011 Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 I'm having issues with this, too. I have to tell him something tomorrow, and I have no idea what is suitable. Does it need to be a problem that requires a solution, or can it be simply informative? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Access Denied Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 i havent done mine yet, but i think it can be just informative Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JavierG Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 To talk about the singularity of the economical crisis in Spain might be an interesting topic. You could talk about the particularity of the "building" problem (as we call it around here) and how it aggravated the situation.I don't know what you're looking for, but I can tip you a bit, as I'm spanish Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thawrom Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Well if you want a topic that's easy to talk about and to research you can talk about the so called "Drug-War" that's going on here in México, or if you want something a bit different you could talk about The Day of the Dead which is one of the cultural aspects of México that appeal the most to foreigners.Hope I helped Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissytd Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 I told my teacher about the economic crisis in Spain but she said I wouldn't have the sufficient vocabulary for it. What is another topic that I could do? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeG Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Do something cultural, maybe a festival or something like that?Also, try to keep the topic narrow enough where you can talk about it for the alloted time, but keep it wide enough so that the instructors can ask good questions, and not difficult ones (if your vocabulary is a bit limited) I won't say much, but my topic generally focused is on The Amazon Rainforest. I know what my focus is for my topic, but I posted it to give you an idea of what you can do your oral on. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissytd Posted February 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 What are some festivals/carnivals that I could do? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeG Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Running of the Bulls? I know it's common, but it works. It really depends on what country you want to do. Try to focus on a major festival, just to make your life easier. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissytd Posted February 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Would the Blacks and Whites' Carnival in Colombia be a good topic? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfit Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Would the Blacks and Whites' Carnival in Colombia be a good topic?if you can find a sufficient amount of information on it, i don't see why not. good luck. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShineeLikeMe Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) Personally I did the concept of the siesta as it applies to hispanic culture and how its affected their psyche versus other cultures. It's really easy to talk about if you know how to break sentence down into laymans terms as well as being quite informative AND a fun topic. I've always hated talking about deep subjects, and naps are always a fun time Edited February 16, 2011 by I'm Not Chinese Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always hated talking about deep subjects, and naps are always a fun time This deviates from the topic, but I thought about doing this well! Would the Blacks and Whites' Carnival in Colombia be a good topic?As long as you can up 3 main ideas, then it'd probably be a good topic. You already have a specific object/place (which, for me, was the hardest part), so if you can find the rest of your thesis (what are you going to talk about that includes the Carnival) then you should do well. Just be sure to know completely about your topic. It actually sounds fun, so you'll be able to seem enthusiastic during your oral. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also make sure your title is worded as a question trying to prove something. For example, "la importancia de El Carnaval en el socidedad de la Republica Dominicana" instead of "El Carnaval en la Republica Dominicana" Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissytd Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 My teacher said that it shouldn't sound like I'm trying to memorize information, how can I prevent that? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
math2 Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 My teacher said that it shouldn't sound like I'm trying to memorize information, how can I prevent that?Know and be familiar with your information. Also study the appropriate vocabulary and the structure of your speech/outline. When you do your oral, construct the sentences along the way relating information about your topic to your outline. Basically, use your skills to talk about your topic. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
