ACTIVITY 3

Match the apology and the situation

Teacher’s instructions
Cut up the cards so that the situations (in italics)
are still together in two columns but there are
individual language cards. Students look at just the
situations and brainstorm their own ideas for
apologies for each one. They are then given the
language cards to match to the situations. Give
them each an uncut version to check their answers
with, then do the practice activities at the bottom.
