Advice

Students try to think of good advice for problems given in these two tenses, e.g. “I’ve lost my voice”, “I haven’t had a date for 10 years” or “Recently I’ve been feeling nervous in crowded places”. These sentences can be given by the teacher or made up by other students. You can add more fun and language practice by people writing their advice down (Agony Aunt letters) and then folding the paper so that the problem can’t been seen. They then pass this to another group, who try to guess what the problem was.
