3 Rules and Prohibitions

This activity aims to help students to recall the structures they have learned and use them for concrete
purposes, such as for expressing obligations and prohibitions.

Materials and Preparation
Photocopy the worksheets on pages 172 and 173.

Procedure
1 Put the class into two groups with four students, A and B. Hand out the ‘Group A worksheet’ to the
students in group A and the ‘Group B worksheet’ to the students in group B.
2 Point out to students that they are going to talk about the rules and prohibitions in the picture
using not only the phrases in the picture but also adding some required words to describe the
rules. Remind them that all group members will make sentences using ‘must, mustn’t and have to’. If
needed while writing extra rules, they can also use ‘don’t have to’.
3 Ask students to talk about the rules and prohibitions in the picture and write some extra required
rules that they think after they discuss with the group members. Once they have finished the activity,
let them share their sentences explaining why they have decided to add these rules with the class.
4 Then, ask students to compare their picture with the other group’s and talk about the similar and
different rules between the two pictures.

4 Chain Drill

This activity aims to help students ask for and give advice about the health problems they have. It also
helps them to practise speaking and listening skills repeating the structural patterns to have been
taught.

Materials and Preparation
This activity does not require any photocopiable materials.

Procedure
1 Ask students to sit or stand in a circle. Point out to them that they are going to ask for and give advice
about a health problem. Therefore, tell them that they are going to think as if they have a health
problem.
2 Write a dialogue such as ‘A: What is the matter with you?/What is the matter?/Are you OK? B: I’ve a
headache. What should I do? A: You should see a doctor.’ on the board. Tell them that they are going to
build a similar dialogue. A student first starts to ask another student sitting or standing next to them.
3 Tell them after student A says the last advice sentence, student B asks another student sitting next
to him/her, ‘What is the matter with you?/What is the matter?/Are you OK?’. Now, a new dialogue starts
between student B and the student on his/her right.
4 At the end of the activity, the last student answering the question will start a new dialogue with the
student on his/her left so that the students who have a health problem will give advice this time.
