Level 2 L/S Task 1: Autumn 2006 Lifestyle conversation

The Task:
There are 6 possible conversation topics that students should practice prior to the testing day. Feel free to limit the number of topics or add new ones to meet the needs of your class. Each topic is related to a unit in the textbook, so reviewing necessary parts in the textbook could be helpful for students. It is encouraged to choose the conversation pairs on the testing day to enforce more natural conversation. On the day of the test, either you or the pair of students could choose a few topics to talk about out of the 6. There are worksheets and a DVD to prepare students for the task.

Topics:
1. Talk about important things in making your life healthier. (9A)
2. Talk about your sleep habits. Do you usually remember your dreams? (9B)
3. Talk about a childhood memory. (10B)
4. Talk about your hometown. What can you do there? (11B)
5. Talk about your favorite holiday or festival in Japan. (12A)
