1 Respond Properly

This activity enables students to express criticism for the events in the past. It also encourages students to improve their
listening, speaking and reading skills.

Materials and Preparation

Cut up the sentence cards on page 109 neatly. Fold each sentence card and put it in a bag or box. Shuffle the bag/box
well.

Procedure

1 Divide the students into two groups (group A and B).
2 Tell students that two volunteers in the groups will come up to the board.
3 The student from group A will take a sentence card from the bag/box and read the situation written on the card to the
student from group B.
4 The student from group B is supposed to give the correct response using the form should have. S/he has to reply
within a minute.
5 If s/he answers correctly, group B gets 5 points, and the sentence card is put away.
6 Now, the student from group A is ready to give the answer (the student who first reads the card). A volunteer from
group B comes, takes a card from the box and reads it. The game goes on like this.
7 If the student can’t reply properly, the card is put in the bag/box again and the group doesn’t get a point.
8 The group who gets the most point wins the game.

2 Make Your Comment

criticism sentences for that situation as many as they can.
4 Tell students that they have five minutes to finish.
5 Swap the groups’ papers and let different groups check the answers. Each correct sentence is 5 points.
