We will begin with brainstorming what a problem page is, who writes to them and what they write about. I will elicit some examples of topics discussed in problem pages and see if they can come up with some famous problem pages in Turkey. (e.g. Guzin Abla) to check understanding.

I will give each students a copy of the Problem Page and explain that it is from a parenting magazine. Students will have 5 minutes to read it, and discuss with their partner what the problem is and whether they agree with the advice given. I will take WC FB afterwards. I will ask students to imagine they are Charlotte and they decided to take Annette's advice. In pairs, they have 3 minutes to write the list of pros and cons of moving from London to the country. After 5 minutes I will give each student a copy of Pros and Cons list to check it against their own and discuss any differences with your partner.

I will write on the board: In my opinion... I will brainstorm other ways of expressing opinion: I'm sure that... I feel that... I think that... I believe that… I'd suggest that… In my experience… As far as I'm concerned… Speaking for myself… I'd like to point out that… What I mean is… I will elicit some phrases and go over meaning and appropriacy of these ways of expressing opinion.

In their pairs, I will tell students they have 10 minutes to write Charlotte's letter to Joyce, using some of the phrases covered for expressing opinion. I will emphasize they can also use their Pros and Cons list. After 10 minutes, I will stop them and ask them to swap their letters with another pair to read and check each other, see if the phrases have been used correctly. I will monitor closely to make sure of error correction.

I will link the previous peer correction to a short WC FB afterwards. I will nominate students to share their letters with the class. I will correct their errors, if they have any.
