8 Favorite Rules

The activity aims to have students share opinions on their favorite rules and regulations and employs
listening and speaking skills.

Materials and Preparation
No materials needed.

Procedure
1 Put students into pairs.
2 Tell them to discuss and decide on one social rule/regulation as their favorite one and to be prepared to
share it by saying in what way it is of help as in the example. Give them 7-8 minutes for the preparation.

E.g. Our favorite regulation is about school. It is “Students and teachers have to be in the
classroom on time.” It gives us the habit of being punctual. Being punctual is vital to life.

3 When they are done with the preparation, have them share their opinions with the class and discuss
all together.

9 Information Gap

The activity aims to have students ask and answer questions for learning the consequences of some
actions/states related to benefiting more from sports. It is intended to employ listening, speaking, reading
and writing skills as well as help with general knowledge related to benefiting more from sports activities.

Materials and Preparation
The reading texts on page 152
The teacher photocopies the reading texts as many as the number of Student As and Student Bs.

Procedure
1 Put students into pairs and assign them as Student As and Student Bs
2 Hand out the reading texts both for Student As and Student Bs.
3 Explain students that this is an information gap activity in which they will be required to fill in the
missing parts of their texts by learning the answers from their partners as both Student As and Bs are
holding the different versions of the same reading text with the missing information their partners
need. Give some of the most likely to be needed question patterns to be used as follows:
Pattern 1 What will happen if …?
Pattern 2 What is/are the consequence/s of …?
4 Emphasize that they are free to use question patterns other than the ones provided above.
5 Give the pairs ten minutes to ask questions and complete the missing parts of the texts they are holding.
6 When the time is over, check students’ answers orally and correct them if necessary. Make sure that
all the pairs have the same answers.
