              • Another option is to help them discuss two topics, like clothes and food, and brainstorm a few ideas
               about them.
              • Instead of having your students complete the monologue in unison, you could ask each student to
               complete one word or expression in the monologue once they have heard it.
              • Another way of expanding your students’ repertoire of words and expressions is by playing the track and
               pausing it before the word is said, so they guess what comes next.
              • The CD icon will appear throughout the practice to indicate the activity the track is linked to. However,
               remember the way we order activities is a suggestion and you may change them to suit the purposes you
               established with your students.
