A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Give learners page 1 and retain the page 2 key for checking. The personal responses are examples, not answers learners must copy.
- Use the example to identify an earlier missed opportunity to ask for help.
- Complete A about ability now, starting earlier, unwanted behaviour and time spent in the past; add a reason to each wish.
- Reorder B's home, school learning and quieter-neighbour questions, then discuss a constructive next step.
Support and extension
Accept hadn't spent or had not spent in Part A, question 4. Would normally requests a change rather than expressing a neutral present-state wish; offer harmless invented regrets if preferred.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
