T sends students the link so they can do the activity in Wordwall. It consists on 4 multiple choice questions. They have an image to look at besides each question. They need to make their choice based on the information in the reading and the sentence structures. After they complete the activity they will share their thoughts in the OC.

T groups students in pairs or small groups and tells them to choose two places, two people or two things they both know well (cities, actors, bands, restaurants, etc.) through the private messages. They have 2 minutes. ICQ. How many places, people or things do you need to choose? two ICQ.

The lesson finishes with an OCFB and DEC mentioning a few things to correct or praise from their work in the class.
