T: I wrote that because I've always wanted to learn how to play the guitar, so I can sing and play at the same time when I go on a picnic with my friends. Give worksheet to Ss and ask them to choose 3 circles and write a note about their hopes, dreams and ambitions under each. Set time for 3-4 minutes. Put them into pairs and ask them to swap worksheet. Ss take turns to ask each other about the things they have written under the circles.Remind them to use the phrases in the language box to give their answers. Monitor - pay attention to problem areas for FB later.
