What might

be some
possible
solutions?
 In pairs, think of other
everyday problems people
can experience.
Change partners, and find
ways to solve each of the
problems in your list.

security lights and paint the

Changing the lock on the gate: Not
necessary because the vandals had climbed
over the wall, not got in through the
gate…
 Coming up with
solutions:

 One option/ alternative would be to call
the telephone company.
 We need to take time into account/
consideration.

 That sounds like a good/ great idea!
 It looks like it could work…!
 Sure. Let’s try that.
 That should do the trick.

Rejecting suggestions:

 I don’t think that’s/ That isn’t really an option.
 I think a better way forward would be to keep
things the way they are.

in this case.
