This is an example of a simple reading exercise - to make reading more active
and interactive. Learners read the text (you can make the text suitable for the
level of your students) Using the text, students decide whether the statements are
true or false, then bet a certain amount of points depending on how sure they
are. I usually tell classes they start at 0, can go in to the negative and the aim is to
have as many points as possible by the end. It leads to many discussions about
language and structure as they try to protect and build point totals!
Me llamo Francisco Garcia. Vivo en Valencia, en el este de España. Me gustan mucho los
animales, y en casa, tenemos un gato que se llama Blanco. Voy al colegio ‘Blanquinal’, es un
colegio grande. No me gusta mucho el colegio. Estudio las matemáticas, las ciencias, la
literatura, la lengua, el inglés, la historia, la geografía y el deporte.
Odio las ciencias porque son aburridas y también la profe es estricta. No me gusta el inglés, es
útil pero difícil. Me gusta la historia porque es interesante y el profe es gracioso. Me encanta el
deporte, es fácil y me encanta el fútbol.
Read the profile above. Then decide whether the statements are true or false. Once you have
decided gamble 10, 50, 100 or 200 points on your answer. (Only bet 200 points if you’re really
sure!)
