TO TEACHERS

This activity can be done quickly. Here, the sentences that need to be written in come directly from the Toolboxes of Point 1 and Point 2.

The point here is that students understand the difference between open and closed questions. We also want them to realize that another goal of this course is to help them to speak in a more “natural” way.

“Natural” actually means “more culturally appropriate”: a way that aligns with the usual cultural habits that people have when having conversations in the English-speaking world (see page 85: Golden Rule 3).
