In this stage we will have a whole class discussion and I will start by showing the students a picture who are in a waiting room to apply for a job. Give little information about the applicants and how they have few chances to be accepted. Ask them what do you think they are thinking of in this moment? Give them a model for what some of the applicant thinks. Ask to predict the applicants' thoughts.
In this stage, I will give the Ss a reading text and ak them to read for 2-3 minutes. While reading I will give the two questions to think about. After they finish I will send them into BORs for 3 minutes. Then, we will discuss their answers together in a whole class.
I will ask them to look at the text again and and I will highlight sentence from the text and ask them to do the same. After they finish, I will try to elicit answers form them by asking 'what is common between these sentences?'

The questions; If I had to live my life all over again, I'd dare make more mistakes next time. Is it possible to relive your life again? no it isn't Did he make many mistakes in the past? yes he did Can he fix the past mistakes? no he can't If I had to do it over again, I'd have moments with my grandparents. Will he be able to have memories with his grandparents ? no he won't why they might be dead. Is it likely to live his life again? no it is impossible. If I could live my life all over again, I would travel with my children instead of working all day. It is likely relive his life again ? no it isn't Can he travel with his children? no he can't Why because they are no more children.
