Why do we need to drink water? 2. Do people need less water when the weather's cold? 3. Can we drink too much water? 4. how much water do we need to drink a day? 5. Do Coke and coffee make us dehydrated? - T asks the questions to the whole class, rather than having SS work in pairs, and help them to express their answers.
