| Aim | To practise indirect questions, asking for information and professions |
| Activity | Students roleplay situations |
| Organisation | Whole class |
| Preparation | Copy enough pairs of cards for the number of pairs in your class |
| What do I do? | 1 Divide students into two groups. Give each student in one group a "profession"
card and each student in the other group a “problem” card. 2 Sit students with "job" cards around the room, in their “shops”. 3 Students with "problem" cards must go from shop to shop, asking (indirect) questions until they find someone who can help them with their problem. 4 When students have found the person who can help, they should continue asking questions to get the information on their card. 5 Pairs repeat their roleplays for the class |
