- What kind of problems do we have in our lives everyday? - Are they really big problems? - What is a dilemma? (Elicit) CCQ: If you are in a dilemma is it easy to make a decision? Is it easy to choose one thing? If they don't know it, explain that dilemma is a situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two different things you could do. When I have a problem and I talk about my problem to my friend, what does my friend do? (Elicit - advice) Point out the difference between advice and advise.

Exposure (8-10 minutes) • To provide a model of production expected in coming tasks through reading/listening

- Give each group a different dilemma. - Ask Ss to read with their partner and write a summary of the problem. - After all the groups read their problems to the class, - They are supposed to get their advice from the walls. - Ss read the advice they have to the class.

Useful Language (6-7 minutes) • To highlight and clarify useful language for coming productive tasks

- Elicit how to give advice, write on the board: You could..... You should...... I think you should....... In your position, I'd / wouldn't............ Personally, I would (never)....... CCQs for the forms on the board: Does the person have to do what I say? Do I just give an idea? What form of verb should I use to complete the sentences? Drill the pronunciation of I'd.

Productive Task(s) (17-18 minutes) • To provide an opportunity to practice target productive skills

- Ask Ss to write their own dilemmas. - Tell them they will later read it to the class and ask for advice. - Give them 5 min.
