Teacher's Guide

Hint #1

To teachers #1
Begin the class by setting a welcoming tone and outlining the goals of the activity. Explain that students will pair up, interview each other about their families, and then share their partner’s family details with the class. Emphasize the importance of using descriptive language to make the conversations more engaging.

To teachers #2
Provide a list of useful words and collocations for each topic to help students formulate their thoughts and responses. These prompts will trigger their speech and guide the conversation.

To teachers #3
Provide short sample answers for each part to demonstrate how students can structure their responses. This helps them understand what is expected and gives them a starting point for their own answers.
