writing and speaking skills.

Materials and Preparation
Worksheet on page 153
The teacher photocopies the worksheet as many as the number of the groups.

Procedure
1 Put students into groups of four or five, depending on the size of the class.
2 Hand out the worksheet, one for each group.
3 Tell students that they will be working in groups to complete the dialogs, the first sentences of which
are given on the worksheets they are holding. Tell them to imagine that the sentences given on the
worksheet are those by a close friend, and they need to come up with sentences that will remind the
close friend about the possible consequences of her/his actions. Share the example below so that
they will have a better understanding of the task.

E.g. Close friend I’m thinking of staying up late every night during the holiday.
You Oh, that may not be a good idea. The consequences of going to bed late are not
good. If you go to bed late, you may not get enough sleep. If you do not get enough
sleep, you will not have enough energy. You may say that you will get up late. Then,
you will miss an important part of the day. If you miss an important part of the day,
you may damage your social life…

4 Give 10 minutes for the task. Emphasize that if they cannot come up with consequences to complete
the dialog through a group discussion, they can consult the teacher or other groups or surf the Net
provided the website to be visited is pedagogically acceptable. At this point, the groups need to inform
you about surfing the Net so that you can have control over the process.
5 When the time is over, have the groups share their dialogs and discuss with the class.
