Get students to reread the correspondence
and write a list of
questions with a partner. Refer students to the
Learning tip
for this exercise.
5
Get students to compare their questions with Margrit‘s.
Students might wonder why negative questions tags are
not used in questions b (
aren’t they?
) and c (
isn’t it?
). This
is because question tags are often used when someone is
checking what they believe to be true. Here, Margrit does not
know the answers – she is asking genuine questions.

you discuss any other answers to
questions that they wrote
in Exercise 4. Encourage students to help each other with the
answers to these questions.

Encourage students to compare their lists to exchange ideas
and help each other with defi nitions.
