Follow-up
3 Put the students into pairs (A and B) and tell them they are going to test each
other. Explain the rules. Student A reads an Opening phrase at random, and
Student B must supply the correct Reply. If B is correct, they win a point. Students
swap over. Student B reads an Opening phrase at random, and Student A supplies
the correct response. If A is correct, they win a point for themselves. The process is
repeated until all the phrases from part A have been read. The student in each pair
with the most points wins
