Motivation 
Imagine you have marooned on a deserted island. There is only you, but don’t worry, you caught 
a golden fish and she promised you one wish. The problem is that you can’t use the wish to be 
transported from the island or to wish some means of transport to escort you to safety. What 
would be THE one thing you would wish?

Procedure 
Students start in pairs, each one of them has a special wish of what he would like to have on the 
deserted island. Their task is to advocate their theory and persuade the other person that their 
wish is more useful. They should use many arguments to advocate their opinion as well as 
counterarguments to demonstrate that the other opinion is not wise. 
After students reach an agreement, they join another pair and continue their discussion with 
them. The task remains the same – to convince the other pair that their suggestion is the best. 
The activity continues until all the people in the class have agreed on one special wish. 
Methodology 
Relative anonymity of pairwork and groupwork offers easier possibility for students to swith 
into their mother tongue. It is advisable that the teacher mingles among the groups and checks 
that only English is used.
This activity is good to boost self-confidence even to students who are usually weaker learners. 
The fact that they hear the same arguments several times in a row should help them express 
some opinion of theirs as well or at least repeat utterances of what they had heard. 
A problem might occur that students are not able to agree whose wish is better. In this case, if 
they are not able to solve it, helps the teacher who evaluates the arguments or luck – students 
might toss a coin or perform “rock, paper, scissors“. 
Modifications 
This activity can be easily adapted to any situation where reaching an agreement is a necessary 
step towards making a decision.
