Activity 15
• Go through the example with
students and ask them to
summarize the highlighted facts.
Their answers may vary,
but they should be able to
identify that all these countries
have coffee at breakfast, or that
coffee is an important element
when starting the day.
• Ask students other questions
whose answers can be found in
the information that serves as an
example. You could elicit what
dishes they eat with their coffee,
if they are sweet or savory, why
they think these countries like
to have a bitter drink with their
sweet meal, etc.
• Allow some time for them to
reread the information about the
cultural habit they selected and
to highlight the facts they will
use during their conversation.
• Monitor and provide help,
if necessary.
• Help students come up with an
opinion supported by the facts
they highlighted.
• Remind them that they can use
some words that serve as clues, so
others will be able to identify them
as opinions.
Activity 16
• Ask students to have their conversation in front of the class.
• Remind the rest of the class to take notes on each performance, so they can provide their peers with
constructive criticism.
• Encourage students to reflect on their performance.
• Go through the REMEMBER with students.
• Tell them to focus on the good points and the ones they could improve.
• Reflect on whether you need to make any changes or reinforce any content in this practice.
• Check the students’ answers and, if necessary, offer options to improve them. For example: recognize
what the problem is (lack of confidence, limited vocabulary, the way sentences are formed, lack of fluency,
misunderstanding the activity, etc.); offer solutions (review the activity, practice with a partner, etc.);
implement them.
