For exposure, students will listen to a conversation between two persons talking about Ratner. A successful business man who lost everything because of a joke he made in public about his products. Further, they chose a general meaning for it, they have four alternatives to chose from. Check in pairs, then whole class. ICQ Should you read a text? Should you listen and write a summary? Should you listen for the general meaning? CCQ What did he sell?
Let students listen again and fill in should have and shouldn't have in the blank spaces in the script. They should then check in pairs before the WC feedback. ICQ Should you read a text? Should you listen and write a summary? Should you listen for the general meaning?

Ss will be divided into groups and have to come up with things they regret about the topics or they can chose any topic they want. Discuss the things suggested in 1-3 and write down 3 sentences. Then put them on the wall and change to the other groups texts. Then they should discuss their problems. Teacher will listen extra careful for errors and do both hot and cold EC.
