LeAD-In ACTIVITy

Before starting the unit and the course, you will want to do 

an ice-breaking warm-up activity with the group. One way 

is to ask students to interview each other. First of all, ask 

students some questions, e.g.: 

What job do you do / want to do? 

Where do you work / want to work? 

What other country would you like to work in? 

What do you do in your free-time? 

What’s your hometown? 

Students write out the answers on a slip of paper. They 

must not write their names on the slips. Collect and 

redistribute them all. Students then mingle and try to find 

the person whose answers they have by asking questions, 

e.g. 

Do you work / want to work in (an advertising 

agency)? Do you watch drama films? 

Monitor the 

activity and do remedial work on any common mistakes if 

necessary.
