    6. Monitor while students are doing the group work activity and
    make a note of any mistakes that they make. If you have time,
    PROCEDURE you could ask each pair to swap cards with another group,
    so they have a fresh set of questions to answer. Five minutes
    1. Elicit questions that you ask another person when you want
    before the end of class, write some of their mistakes on the
    to get to know them, such as ‘What’s your name?’ and ‘Where
    board and encourage peer/self-correction. Make sure that
    are you from?’ Write the questions on the board, eliciting
    they note down the correct forms.
    any difficult spelling. Drill the questions with the class, and
    use this opportunity to model and drill the correct sentence
    stress (What’s your name? Where are you from?).

    2. Hand out the question card worksheet and ask students to


    read through the questions on their own. Encourage students
    to ask about any vocabulary they don’t understand. With
    higher level students, you could take the opportunity to teach
    some related vocabulary/language points here:

    LANGUAGE TIP: What are you scared


    of? What are you afraid of/frightened of? –
    dependent prepositions/synonyms
    What do you like/enjoy/dislike/hate doing? – gerunds
    vs infinitives

    3. Tell students to ask and answer the questions on the grid


    in pairs. Monitor while they do this and make a note of
    any errors. They should try to talk for as long as possible
    about each question. Make sure that students are giving
    full answers to each question so that they are practising
    the correct grammatical structures and word orders. If
    necessary, model an example for the students:
