For example: “I go to see my friend.’’

Your partner will try to guess which sentence it comes from.

Example:

Student A: “I think that when you want to know the latest gossip, you go to see your friend.”
Student B: “No, I don’t.”
Student A: “Hmm. Maybe if you feel stressed, you go to see your friend.”
Student B: “Maybe that’s true, but this sentence is different”
Student A “Aha, I know! If you have a difficult personal problem, you go to see your friend.”
Student B “That’s right! He’s a great person to talk to.”

Continue until all the sentences have been guessed.
