Are they happy? When did they start dating? Are they married? [No] Are they planning to get married? [Yes] When? Are they planning to go on honeymoon? (T elicits the meaning of honeymoon)

"This is their holiday plan and you have 2 minutes to fill the boxes in pairs. Don't write long sentences. Just short answers". T hands the HO1 to Ss and gives an example of a short answer "visit Big Ben". ICQs; "Are you going to work alone or in paris?" "Will you write long sentences or short answers?"
