Aims  To review the vocabulary and grammar from Unit 2

Time  15 minutes
Materials  1 handout for every four students, cut up into A / B /
C / D sections
• Divide the class into four groups. Give everybody in one
group a copy of the Student A section of the handout, and
similarly Student B, C, and D sections to the other groups.
• Allow the class time to work with other students in their
group to decide on the questions they need to ask. Make it
clear that at this point they are not answering the questions.
• Organise students into groups of four, so that each group
has a Student A, B, C and D. Students take turns within
their group to ask their questions and try to find someone
who answers, ‘yes’. When they do, they should gather more
information about the situations or get answers in the case of
the vocabulary questions.
• When the activity is finished, elicit answers to the vocabulary
questions and ask each group to briefly feed back a couple of
things they found out about the students in their group. At
this stage, focus on linguistic accuracy.
