Speaking
1. Tell them they are going to do the survey from the TV programme. They are going to ask other students about their holidays. Put them in pairs and give out the photocopied sections.
2. Ask them to look at their section and ask about anything they do not understand.
3. Tell the pairs they are going to work apart and ask five different people. They should write the names and take notes about the answers.
4. Go around the class helping and noting interesting answers.
5. On the board, write or look on the web:
SECTION A
What did most people answer for questions 1-4?
What were the most interesting answers for questions 5 and 6?
SECTION B
What did most people answer for question 1?
What were the most interesting answers for questions 2-7?
Tell them to go back to their partner and exchange information.
6. Choose a pair and ask them to tell the class what their partner said. For information like ‘most people said’, ask other pairs if they got the same results. For the ‘most interesting’ information, get examples from other pairs.
