When they go to the beach, the water must be warm. I’m the opposite. I really like cold water because it energizes me. Q2: What are things that a lot of people like but that you don’t like ? T: For example, a lot of people like rap. In France, we have this rapper called JUL, he is very famous but I don't listen to him because I don’t like rap music. T: Now your turn!

Speaking activity - Instructions: T: Think about 2 things that you like and one thing that you dislike. (share the screen - jamboard). →We are going to put pictures on Jamboard. Can you see my screen ? → Each of you has a whiteboard. Which one is your white board ? You just have to find your name. First, let me show you how we use Jamboard. → Look for what you like and what you dislike. For example: I like spicy food. (look for picture) I like watching rugby (...) I hate getting up early. (...) → Look for your images. You have 2'. → Now, I will send you with a partner to a BOR. Give the partner your white board number. He/she has to guess if the picture shows something that you like or dislike. Example: Ask question: Do you like spicy food ? Yes, I really like eating spicy. No, I hate it ! Predict: You hate / really like / don't like spicy food... T: Ready ? Go to the BORs. You have 5’-6'.
Students share what they talk about in the BORs. T: So, … tell me , does she like eating pizza? No. What did your partner tell you ?
