5 They Say True or False?

This activity aims at making interview. It also encourages students to improve their listening, speaking, reading and writing
skills.

Materials and Preparation

Divide the students into groups of four. Deliver the photocopiable material on page 156 to each student.

Procedure

1 In this reported speech activity, students interview each other, offering true or false answers, and then compare what
the interviewees said using reported speech.
2 First, students read the questions on the worksheet and write one true and two false answers for each question.
3 Then they interview the other three people in their group using the same questions. Students take notes on the
interviewees’ answers on the worksheet and ask follow-up questions, especially if they suspect a false answer.
4 Once an interviewee answers a question, they either deliver the correct answer or one of their false answers,
changing the answer given to each student.
5 After everyone has finished, students use reported speech to compare what different people told them and select the
correct answers.
6 Finally, the interviewees share their true answers.
