To the teacher: to practice the language from the programme, copy and cut up 1 set of prompts per group of 3-4 students. The cards are placed face down in a pile.
Tell the students that they are sharing a flat together, but they are not happy with their flatmates' behavior. The reasons why they are not happy are written on the cards – one reason per card. The first student takes a card and uses the prompts to ask a student of his/her choosing to change his / her behavior eg. Would you mind cleaning the bathroom when you've finished using it?
The student who is asked the question can respond as s/he wishes. When the exchange is completed, the next student picks up a card and the cycle begins again.
| bathroom / dirty | washing up loud music | don't pay for things |
| housework smelly socks | borrow other people's things without asking | used all the coffee rent / late |
| don't pick up rubbish | horrible friends | politeness – please / thank you |

Mingling activity
To the teacher: Copy and cut up the cards below. Make enough copies so that each student can have one card. Give the cards out and get students to mingle (tell them they are at a party): every time they meet another student, they have to have a short conversation, in which each student compliments the other one using the prompt on their card. They respond appropriately to the compliment and then move on, until all the students have spoken to each other.
