This activity aims to have students ask and answer questions in an interview.
Materials and Preparation

Copy the material on page 156 and make sure that each student has one.
Procedure

STEP 1
1 Ask students to make meaningful questions as in the example. Give them some time to complete
all the questions.
2 Tell them you are about to read a passage aloud, and they will find and write the answers of the
questions while listening to it.
3 Read the following paragraph aloud. If necessary, read it again.
I went to Assos in Çanakkale with my best friend, Luis, last summer. We went there by airplane, bus, and
ferry. We stayed at a hotel near Kadırga Beach for two weeks. I went either swimming or scuba diving
every morning. Luis sunbathed on the beach and went fishing. In the afternoons, we climbed to the
Temple of Athena, and watched the sunset. We had dinner at a fish restaurant with an amazing Mytilene
view every night. We both had a fantastic time.
4 Give them a few minutes to complete the answers. Then, elicit the answers together.

STEP 2
1 Tell students to work in pairs. First, they should write their own answers considering their last
vacation. Then, have them ask the questions to their partners and write down the answers.
2 After they have completed the exercise, tell them to write a similar paragraph about their last
vacation.
