Divide the class into pairs. Have them choose 1 or 2 events from the list (the one they did on the CP). Have students organize what they're gonna talk, they can use the sentences on the right to orientate themselves. Have them work with a partner on BORs, interviewing each other about their event(s). Have students use the LP lexis. Ask students to take notes about their partner's event. [13] For feedback, call students to tell their events. [7]
Write down some errors from the last exercise, whether if it relates to meaning, form or pronunciation. * If by any chance there are few things to correct, encourage students to ask you things about an event. Provide short answers so they can ask more things and produce language.
