Warm  up
Â
1 Tell students to imagine they are at a party and to imagine that they meet someone new. Ask what information they want to know about the person. Write their ideas on the board.
2 Use their ideas to check/revise making questions. Help them to  make some questions about some of the information they wanted  to know.
Main activity
1 Tell students they are going to find out about the other people in the class. Put them in pairs and give out the photocopies. Tell them to look at the words and ask their partner about any they do not know.
2 Ask if there are any words that they still do not know. Ask other students to explain them before giving the meaning yourself.
3 Explain that they should work with their partner and help each other to write two questions for each of the six subjects. They can use the words with each subject for help, or other words if they want. They can use the words in the middle for all the subjects if they want. Explain that they can avoid any information if they wish. Do an example or two together on the board, e.g.
How  old are you?
How  many  brothers  and  sisters  have  you got?
4 Go around giving help and checking that their questions are correct.
5 Ask them to talk with their partner and compare their own answers  to the questions.
6Â Ask them to stand up, and tell them that they should go around the class asking other students their questions. For each question, they should try to find someone who gives a similar answer to their own. Tell them to make notes about the answers they get.
7 Check their results. Ask if anyone found a person with similar answers. Ask if there were any questions that no one answered in a similar way. Ask if they got any surprising answers.

Warm up
1 On the board, write the following questions:
1Â When you were a child, was there anything about adults that you thought was strange or amusing?
2 Are there any ways that you see life differently now  that you are older?
3Â What is the most surprising or unexpected thing about the way your life has developed?
Ask students to talk with their neighbours about the questions.
2 Take the questions one by one and ask students if their neighbours had any interesting answers. Encourage comments and questions from the class.
Main activity
1 Tell students that they are going to talk to each other about their lives and experiences. Put them in pairs and give out the photocopies, making sure that both partners have the same sheets: Student A with Student A, and Student B with Student B.
2 Ask students to interview each other using the questions. Explain that they should write a short title for each of their partner’s answers in the correct place on the life map. The titles should be short-just enough to allow them to remember their answer. Tell them to help each other with words they do not understand and ask you if there is anything they are not sure about. Reassure students that they do not have to answer any questions they do not want to. You could teach the phrase I’d rather not say or I’d rather not talk about that.
3 When they have finished, ask them to exchange sheets, so they each have the map of their own life. Tell them to check they understand the titles given by their partners. Students then tear off the questions and keep the map of their life.
4 Ask students to find a new partner with the opposite sheet: Student A with Student B. Tell them to exchange their life maps. Explain that the map contains different information about different things for each student. Tell them to ask each other questions about the titles on their partner’s map and find out what they mean.
5 Ask what was the most interesting or surprising information they heard from their partner. Encourage comments and questions from the class.

Warm up
1Â Ask students how they are different from the other people in their family.
2Â Ask how they are similar to other people in their family.
3Â Ask if they look like their parents or other family members in any way. Use this to practice the question Who do you look like? Teach the expression I‘ve got my mum‘s eyes, and get students to use it in a few examples about their own family, Â e.g. My sister has got my dad‘s nose. Explain that we also use it to compare people with other family members like aunts, uncles, brothers and sisters.
Main activity
1 Tell students they are going to play a game about families. Put them in pairs and give out the photocopies:  A to one and B to the other. Tell  them not to look at each other’s sheets.

mother                 father
sister                   brother
grandmother            grandfather
aunt                    uncle
niece                   nephew
cousin
Then ask questions about the relations between the people on their photocopies, e.g.  Ken is  Gina‘s . . . and ask them to finish your sentences.
3Â Â Explain the game:
4Â Choose one of the people on the photocopy, but don’t tell students the name. Instead, tell them to guess who you are describing. Describe the person.
5Â Ask them to do the same with their partners. They describe a person so that their partner can guess who it is. Tell them to take turns and keep score of how many they guess right.
6Â Ask how many they guessed and find out who guessed most.
