Personal ads

Activity type: Pair interview

Time: 15–20 minutes

Preparation:  Click here to download the sheet of personal ads. Print it out. Photocopy one sheet of personal ads for each student.

Procedure: Have students form pairs. Give each student a sheet. Tell them to read through the sample personal ads and deal with any unknown vocabulary that may arise. Students should take turns interviewing each other to learn more about their partner. Explain that the task is to write a personal ad for this person.

Option: Hang the personal ads around the classroom, and ask students to guess which student each ad describes.
