De­scri­bing peop­le
(ap­pearan­ce & cha­rac­ter)

Du­ring your sum­mer ho­li­days in Eng­land, you’ve met the boy/girl of your dreams. Since your best fri­end wants to know ever­y­thing about him/her, you de­cri­be the boy’s/girl’s looks and cha­rac­ter.

Sta­ting your opi­ni­on

Get to­ge­ther in groups of three. Two of you dis­cuss whe­ther sit­ting in front of the com­pu­ter du­ring the whole weekend is a good idea or not. After the two of you have given their opi­ni­on, the third pupil re­ports what has been said and sta­tes her own opi­ni­on.

Re­porting a se­quence of events

You have wit­nessed an ac­ci­dent: A cy­clist didn’t stop at a red light and was hit first by a mo­tor­bike from the left and a then a lorry from the right. The po­li­ce asks you to give an exact ac­count of what you saw in the right order.

Tal­king about (youth) cul­tu­re

Get to­ge­ther in groups of five. You are pre­pa­ring an ex­ch­an­ge with a school in Ca­na­da. Your teacher wants you to shoot a litt­le film for  the Ca­na­di­an pu­pils where you pre­sent how you and your fri­ends live. Each of you should talk 1-2 mi­nu­tes about one of the fol­lo­wing sub­jects: your fa­mi­ly, your school, your hob­bies, what is im­portant for you, what your plans for the fu­ture are .

De­fen­ding your po­si­ti­on
(pros & cons of new media)

Get to­ge­ther in groups of two or four (one against one or two against two). Your local coun­cil has de­ci­ded to cut the money for your school, so it won’t be able to buy any new media for the next five years. You try to con­vin­ce a mem­ber of the coun­cil of the im­port­an­ce of mo­dern media for your school; the coun­cil mem­ber de­fends his po­si­ti­on.  

Plan­ning a mul­ti­cul­tu­ral event

Get to­ge­ther in groups of three. Your town has been cho­sen to host a fes­ti­val ce­le­bra­ting cul­tu­ral di­ver­si­ty in your re­gi­on. Your school wants to cont­ri­bu­te to the event and has cho­sen you and your two class­ma­tes to come up with some ideas. Work out a few ac­tivi­ties that will help make the fes­ti­val a suc­cess.
