The aim of this activity is to have students talk about past and present events/experiences and improve
their listening and speaking skills.

Materials and Preparation
Small topic cards on page 119
Copy and cut out the cards and put them together as sets.

Procedure
1 Put students into groups of six and give a set of topic cards to each group. Have each group shuffle
the cards and place them facing down on the desk.
2 Then, divide the groups into two subgroups as A and B.
3 Tell students that the members of Group A, in turns, will pick a card and try to come up with a
sentence of experience regarding the topic on the card. This experience may either be true or
imaginary. Then, members of Group B will ask follow-up questions related to the sentence of
the Group A student to find out whether the sentence is a true experience or an imaginary one.

E.g. A Group A student picking the card with Prague on may say “I have been to Prague.”, and then
the members of Group B may come up with follow-up questions such as, “When did you go
there?”, “What was the favorite local food?”, “What did you enjoy doing most there?” etc. and
decide whether this is a true experience or an imaginary one.
