          This activity aims to have students ask and answer questions about imaginary situations. It is expected
          to help students improve their listening, reading and speaking skills through a collaborative work.

          Materials and Preparation
          Game sheet, a dice pattern and counters on page 230
          As a preparation, the teacher photocopies the board game, makes the dice from the dice pattern and
          cuts out the counters on page 230.


          Procedure
          1  Put students into groups of three or four, depending on the size of the class.
          2  Give each group a game sheet, a dice and counters.
          3  Ask students to place their counters on the start square. The student to throw the highest number
             with the dice starts the game.
          4  Have students roll the dice and move their counters in turn.
          5  Explain the groups that when a player lands on a square, she/he is going to read the question aloud
             and answer it. If the student answers it correctly and the rest of the group agree that the answer is
             correct, the student moves the counter forward. If the answer is incorrect, the counter returns to its
             original square.
          6  The student to reach the finish square first wins the game.


             5   Review Your Wishes


          This activity aims to have students express their wishes and state both the positive and negative
          consequences of the wishes that their pairs mentioned.


          Materials and Preparation
          Sheets of paper


          Procedure
          1  Put students into pairs.
          2  Have each student in pairs make a list of five present wishes and write them down on a sheet of paper.
             E.g. I wish I were rich now.
          3  Then, have one student read out her/his wish, and ask the other student in pairs to tell one positive
             and one negative consequence of that wish.

             E.g. Student A    I wish I were rich.
                 Student B     If you were rich, you would buy many things easily. (positive)
                               If you were rich, you would take more responsibility for managing money. (negative)

          4  Tell the pairs that they are going to do the same thing for all the wishes that they listed.
          5  After they have heard the consequences of the wishes from their partners, ask them whether they
             have changed their opinions on their wishes or not. If there is a change, have them tell what it is.
