               living alone. They are suggestions that your students may use, but it is far better to base one’s work on
               one’s own interests. We do not advise that you give students their topics, but, as stated in a previous activity,
               that your students agree on the topics to be dealt with in their own monologue.
              • Remember that you may also record their monologues and upload them to the web, if available. That will
               also produce comments from real people.
