A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Use the one-page set of 20 questions; let pairs choose four rather than rush through all of them.
- Model a preference about reading or television with a reason and one concrete example.
- Take turns on study habits, transport, phones at meals or another chosen topic, asking Why? or Can you give an example?
- Report a partner's view accurately before adding a contrasting preference.
Support and extension
Support with I prefer… because… and question stems. Extend by distinguishing a personal preference from a rule for everyone. There is no fixed answer key; privacy-sensitive questions may use invented examples.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
