This is a quick and interactive warm-up activity where students choose between two options and explain their choice.
This activity is a fantastic tool for a few key reasons:
Boosts Speaking Confidence: It gives students a simple and safe way to start speaking English. The clear-cut choices reduce the pressure of having to think of something to say from scratch.
Encourages Explanations: To answer effectively, students must go beyond a simple "this" and use linking words like "because" and "so" to explain their reasoning. This practice builds their ability to form more complex sentences.
Activates Vocabulary: The prompts cover a wide range of topics, prompting students to recall and use vocabulary they've learned, from hobbies and food to travel and technology.
Promotes Critical Thinking: The more imaginative questions encourage students to think creatively and express personal opinions, moving beyond basic responses and engaging with the language in a more meaningful way.
