7 Allow students six to eight minutes to prepare their dialogues. Monitor to
make sure all students are on task. Encourage them to use the key language.
Activity idea Mixed-ability
In Exercise 7, weaker students can write their dialogues and practise them
before trying to act them out without looking at their notes. Stronger students
can perform dialogues spontaneously.
Activity idea Extension
Ask students to work in pairs and give each other challenges that could be done
in class, e.g. say the alphabet in English, backwards, in less than one minute;
think of a word in English with no vowels (rhythm, shyly, myth).
