Click here for ‘The Basic Method for Speaking Pairwork’
Ask the students to imagine they’re a famous person who’s still alive; it could be a pop star, movie star, sportsperson, politician, business leader, anything. Go round the class and get them all to choose a different person.
Try to elicit from them questions you might ask such a person if you bumped into them at a dinner-party. Help them along and prompt them until you have something like this written on the board:
What’s your name?
Where are you from?
Are you married?
Do you have any children?
What do you do?
Why are you famous?
Can you explain your work?
What’s the most recent thing you’ve done?
What’s your biggest success?
What’s your biggest mistake?
Tell the students they will be asking each other these questions in a moment and give them a few minutes to prepare answers. Then set them talking in pairs.
Encourage them to prolong each interview with questions of their own invention
Have you ever ____?
Do you like ____?
etc
