JUST A MINUTE

Some interesting topics for Just A Minute. It is an activity that as an English teacher I have found very fascinating. The participant must start by repeating the topic, then continue speaking on it for a minute without pausing ( a minor pause for breath is allowed, the decision lies with the moderator), without repetition of words, ideas, and without stammering, or making grammatical errors. Remember, imagination is the key.
