Activity 2: Sharing Personal Information

This activity aims to develop students' confidence in speaking and ability to articulate their feelings. Students work in pairs to identify 3 things they have in common and 3 things they don't. They then share this information with another pair, noting everyday interests and differences across the four students. The focus is on practicing sharing information with peers in an appropriate manner. A sample conversation is provided as a resource to model this.

Activity 2: Sharing personal information

Sharing knowledge is also a skill that developed to communicate with people in formal
and informal situations. This activity is to develop students’ confidence in speaking and
their ability to articulate their feelings.

Instructions Resources

Task 1: Sharing information


1. For this activity, work in pair to find out three things
you have in common with your partner and three
things you don’t. For example, both partners may
enjoy watching football on TV (the common interest),
and one of them may spend their free time listening to
music while the other plays some sport (one thing they
do not have in common).
2. When each pair has finished noting down the
information, they will have to exchange the lead with
another team and identify everyday things across all
four group members and interests they do not share.
3. Each one will present their information to the buddy.

4. Since the focus of the activity is on practising the


language of sharing information among buddies, if you 2
notice any inappropriate use of language, you can
note it and then draw attention to these mistakes later
so that the whole group benefits. See Resource 2 for
a sample conversation. You can read it yourself.

(Buddy are responsible for leading the tasks and


encouraging the critical friends to speak in English)

Resource 2: Sharing personal information

Student 1: What are your hobbies? I like to watch football on TV, play the
guitar in my free time, a n d hang around with friends. Oh, I also
prefer to sleep a lot, especially on Sundays.

Student 2: Me too. Mother has to push me out of bed every Sunday morning!
I love sleeping also! I wish I could play the guitar — I don’t know-how.
I like to spend my free time working in my uncle’s garage — I love cars,
you know! That’s why I never get time to watch TV. I don’t miss it,
actually — and I have many friends at the garage.

Student 1: Okay, let me write this down. Ordinary things — we both love sleeping,
we like talking to friends, we don’t like going outside on Sunday. Okay
— we have three things in common.

Student 2: Yeah. And you like watching TV, you like football, and you play the
guitar. I’m not too fond of these. I love cars, I work in my uncle’s garage
in my free time, and what’s the third point?

Student 1: Was it about friends? Oh, I remember: your friends are from the
garage, mine are from school. Okay, we have our list ready!
