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.
- Read the venue comparison and distinguish quoted price from the full cost still needed.
- Identify the volunteer-induction agreement, workload condition and trial before permanence.
- Create a prompt dialogue using two key phrases to summarise consensus and one outstanding question.
Support and extension
Offer agreed/unknown/next step columns. Extend by asking the partner to correct the summary if it overstates the agreement.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
