Teaching Speaking About the Classroom Friends Game Students
Teaching Speaking
About the Classroom Friends Game Students can list each classmate only once on the worksheet. • Encourage students to spell names correctly. When they find a friend to add to their sheet, they should ask the friend how to spell their first name. • Encourage neatness. Insisting that students demonstrate their best handwriting from the very beginning of the year sets a good precedent.

Dear love advicer �Six years ago, when I was 24, I married my first and only boyfriend. We now have a two lovely children and my husband is good and kinda. I should be happy, but I am not. I feel that life is passing me by and that I married too young. And I am now building a fantasy world around a friend’s husband. I suppose I should be ashamed. Can you help me?
Dear love advicer �I recently broke up with a man I loved and he married another girl. I have been going out with someone else ever since. He is 29 and I am 26. Now he has asked me to marry him and I suppose he would be mad if I refuse. But I don’t love him. I live in a small village so I am unlikely to get another chance. I don’t want to be left on the shelf. My mother says love grows if you marry someone who is good to you. Do you think she is right?
