Teacher's
notes
A.
Lead in to this activity with questions about students' companies'
recreational facilities, e.g:
Does your company have a complex?
What facilities does it have?
Is there anything it doesn't have that you would like?
Get the students to do the task individually.
B.
This can be done in pairs or small groups. Set a time limit, e.g.
10 minutes.
C.
Pre-teach the useful expressions. Let the students talk as long as
it takes. You can correct errors afterwards.
If the class is small or 1-1, leave out the discussion part in B.
Students could write up their decision in report form for homework.
If you have any suggestions, comments or requests, please e-mail
