groups of three. Student A demonstrates an action, Student B asks Student C `What is he/she doing?'

In a one-to-one class, you can reverse the roles, i.e. demonstrate an action and ask the student `What am I doing?'

6- Senses

(a deliberate action). Give examples, e.g. `I can't hear you' / `I'm listening to music'. Model pronunciation of the
noun forms. Students can report what they found out about their partners to the class in order to practise the third
person forms of `I love', `I like', etc.
