T labels one side of the classrom "very risky" and the other side "not risky at all" and reads out 4 different scenarios for the students and instructs them to stand on the side that suits them. Scenarios are: 1. "Telling a close friend the truth when you know it might hurt their feelings. 2. "Quitting a stable job without having another one ready." 3. "Telling someone you love them first." 4. "Changing your major in your final year." T asks some follow-up questions like "Why did you stand there?" after each scenario to a few Ss.

After the lead-in, T asks Ss to read the instructions and complete 1a according to themselves for 2 mins. When Ss are done, T asks them to compare their answers in pairs for another 2 mins. Finally, T asks Ss if they are familiar in their attitude to risk and elicits a few answers.

Ss read the instructions for the gist task in 1b. T asks "Can you also put ✓/X in the boxes?" to check understanding. Ss listen and complete the task. T elicits answers from the Ss.

T tells students that they will listen again and complete 1c. T asks Ss to quickly read the sentences first before listening. Ss listen and complete. T plays the audio a second time if necessary. The answers are check as whole class. T asks Ss the question in 1d to Ss and elicits answers from them.

T tells students now they will interview each other to see who is the bigger risk-taker. T instructs students to work in pairs and tells one is A and one is B. A will interview B first with the questions in green circle and B will interview A with blue questions. They need to write R next to the question they ask if they think their friend is willing to take a risk. When they are finished, they will compare their answers and decide who is the bigger risk-taker. T demonstrates one example with one of the Ss before letting them start. During the speaking stage, T monitors silently and notes down any mistakes Ss make to give delayed feedback later.
