Yesterday, in detail
Tell me everything you did yesterday, in order. Use the past simple throughout.
Goal
Handle daily life — shops, plans, small talk.
Most speaking is ordinary: talking about your day, making a plan, describing where you live, handling a quick exchange in a shop. These exercises build the fluency that makes those moments effortless instead of effortful.
