PLAY

The rule :

Divide the class into four groups and arrange them in circles . Give each group a different one of

these topics : - big cars

- air travel

- nuclear power

- whaling

Each group write a passive sentence in the present tense about their topic on piece of paper . They pass their papers to the group on their left , who write a passive sentence in the past tense on the topic . The papers are passed to the left again , and the new group write a passive sentence in the present perfect tense . The papers are finally passed to the left once more for the groups to write a passive sentence in the future tense . The papers are then returned to the first groups , who read them out to the rest of the class .
