Hand out the worksheet and run through it with your students. The objective is to enjoy talking about the topic. Split the class into pairs to do the final three questions as a speaking exercise, then get the pairs to report back to the class.

This lesson was adapted from a lesson in Tower Talk Topics 1, available here.

Tower Talk Topics 1 is intended for non-native learners of English, typically in their first year of high school. But I designed the book to be of equal use to the mature student studying English at home. Every one of the 42 lessons are about a discussion topic with clear sections to work on skills for reading, writing, speaking and with links to free videos for listening practice.
