T shows SS a photo of two people (Guy and Jasmin) with different eating habits and some sentences (I think I'm pretty healthy and I just eat what I like. My mom's always complaining about my diet.) they said in a survey. SS have to choose which sentences were said by Guy and which ones by Jasmin, and justify their answers. SS answer individually and then check the answers in pairs T performs OCFB
T gives students a task with the TL to elicit any previous knowledge they have of the TL . In the task, there will be 4 groups, one for each part of the TL, and students must put the correct information (MFP) in the correct group in pairs.
