This activity aims to have students make predictions for themselves and their partners. It is expected to
improve students’ reading skills as well as writing and speaking.
Materials and Preparation
Activity sheet on page 86
As a preparation, the teacher photocopies the activity sheet as many as the number of students.
Procedure
1 Put students into pairs.
2 Hand out the activity sheet, one for each student. Tell them to answer the questions for themselves.
Remind them not to show their answers to their partners.
3 After they have finished answering the questions for themselves, have them guess their partners’
predictions.
4 Have students ask the questions on the sheet to their partners and tell them to put a tick for each
correct guess. After that, have them read aloud their own answers and those of their partners’. Tell
them to award 1 point for each correct guess they’ve made. The student with the highest score will
win the game.
E.g.
I will play cyber games, but my partner will go shopping on Sunday.
