The following activity is suitable for lower-level students 

who need to consolidate the collocations in exercise 2 (or 

any other collocations they need to learn).

Write each word on separate cards. These are turned face 

down and students then play pelmanism, i.e. they turn over 

two cards and see if they make a collocation. If they do, 

they keep the pair. If they don’t, they are turned face down 

again. The winner is the student who gets the most pairs.

your life’). Find out if students have ever prepared a CV. Ask: 

What does a CV typically include? 

Is there a preferred order for the information?
