Advice Mingle Activity
Pre-Intermediate
Give two or three to each student.
The type of dialogue you should be aiming for is as follows:
A: Hello Davide, can you give me some advice? My cat is very fat.
B: Oh, I think you should put it on a diet. I also have a problem. My hair is too dry. What should I do?
A: You should change your shampoo. And I think you should ask your hairdresser for advice.
B: OK, thank you. Bye.
Afterwards, have some feedback on who gave the best advice to different problems.
| My ex-girlfriend invited me to the cinema for tomorrow night. | My boss doesn't want to give me a pay rise. |
| I haven't studied for my exam next week. | I want to improve my English conversation. |
| I want to go to the best restaurant in town. | I lost my best friend's telephone. |
| I need to find $50 by tonight. | It's my mother's birthday tomorrow and I don't know what gift to get. |
| I can't sleep very well at night. | I feel tired all day. |
| I have terrible backache. | There's nothing on TV tonight. |
| My computer doesn't work anymore. | When our teacher speaks, I don't understand very well. |
| I am too intelligent for this class. | My bedroom is very cold at night. |
