-What kind of music / movies do you like to listen to / watch?
-Do you have a favourite music / movie genre? What is it?
-How often do you go to the cinema?
-Do you listen to some music when you do your homework?
-What was the last movie you watched?
-What was the last song you listened to?
Anyone can ask questions from the student who is talking
at the moment.
Students work in pairs. First, they write the question
Which is your favourite movie? in their exercise book and
then swap them and answer the question. They swap again,
and ask a question about their partners favourite movie.
This goes on until they swap exercise books at least six
times. Then some students are asked to read whats in their
exercise book.
Swapping is controlled by the teacher.
The teacher distributes the handouts and pairs up the
students. They have to choose a movie genre from the
handout and perform the dialogue on it accordingly. They
have 3 minutes to prepare and then each pair performs the
dialogue in the selected genre.
