You may decide to ask a volunteer to read the first question aloud in the three ways 

for the class as an example. Trainees then work in pairs or groups of three to practise asking 

the questions. To add a challenge, they should not tell their partner which version they are 

trying to perform (i.e. neutral, disapproval, outrage), so their partner can guess. Then play the 

recording for trainees to compare it with their versions. Discuss any differences (i.e. in choice 

of which words to stress) with the class. Finally, discuss with the class whether it is useful/

acceptable to express disapproval or outrage in this way.
