Possible sample
S1: What do you think we’ll need in our personal earthquake bag?
S2: If we have to collect things we need for five days, the most important things will be the bottle of water, candles, money and personal washing things. That makes four, do you agree?
Important personal and official papers; useful items to make life easier until
help arrives.
In pairs you are to choose eight things from the list below to put into your personal earthquake bag. Make sure that you only take essential things with you. They must last you five days.
S1: No, I don’t agree. Food and sweets is a good idea but the medicine would also be very useful.
S2: I agree. So we have to choose whether to take the food and sweets and the medicine to make our eight items.

S1: Yes. That seems to solve the problem. OK. Let’s put the medicine in and take the candles out. Now our list is complete. Let’s tell the class our ideas and see if they have the same ideas…
S1: Yes, they sound good choices. I also think we need a torch, a mobile phone and a blanket. Another one?
S2: OK. But now we have difficulties. I would like food and sweets. We’ll really need food if we’re to be on our own for five days before rescue comes.
Remember: These thing should be avoided.

S2: Well, the candles and the torch do seem to be the same. Why don’t we remove the candles (in case we don’t have matches) and replace them with the medicine?
