A well-structured speaking and listening exercise on the theme of childhood friends. It includes preparation for speaking, a rehearsal phase, giving a presentation, listening comprehension tasks and reporting back to the group.
For more information about the process see the Speaking cycles resource.

Have you used this resource?
Review this resourceI have many one-to-one students and I find some of these lessons excellent to make them think alone. Since they have no classmates to discuss with it gets the student to think more laterally and give out a wonderful set of different comments.
I enjoy using these lessons.
