  Divide the class into groups of four. Each group should 

have an A, B, C and D student. Ask students to double up if 

necessary. After they have read the information about the task, 

check they can tell you what the situation is. 

Give students about five minutes to review and practise the 

phrases from exercise 4 and prepare a few questions on their 

topic. Monitor the roleplays and give language feedback 

afterwards.
