A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Use the two model conversations and key-phrase lists on the single learner page; the final prompts are open-ended and need no fixed answer key.
- Compare museum and gallery options, then identify the decision and remaining head-count task.
- Read the kitchen dialogue and state each flatmate's responsibility in one short summary.
- Choose a prompt and build an exchange ending with the main agreement and next action, using two key phrases.
Support and extension
Provide choice/reason/action notes. Extend by leaving one detail unresolved and marking it clearly rather than claiming full agreement.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
