Who Said What?
In language learning, it's important not only to be able to understand individual words and phrases but also to comprehend full conversations in context. That's where the "Who Said What?" exercise comes in. Students will be presented with a mixed-up conversation, and their task will be to put it back into the correct order. This exercise will help students practice their listening and comprehension skills, as well as their ability to understand and interpret the flow of a conversation. By putting the conversation in the correct order, students will gain a better understanding of the context and the overall meaning of the conversation. This "Who Said What?" exercise is a great way to challenge students and improve their language skills while also making it fun and engaging.
Role-Play
Role-playing is a fun and engaging way to practice language skills, especially when it comes to conversational language. In this exercise, two students will be given half of a conversation, and they must read their character's lines while listening to their partner read the other person's lines until they have read the whole conversation. This exercise will help students practice their listening and speaking skills, as well as their ability to understand the context of a conversation. Before starting the role-play, students will watch a video enactment of the conversation to help them understand the flow and tone of the conversation. Additionally, students can be asked to write down what the other person says to further reinforce their listening and comprehension skills. Overall, this exercise is an interactive and enjoyable way for students to improve their language skills.

During World War II, the British government and the Royal Air Force (RAF) created a cover story, the carrot myth, to protect the secret of their radar technology. They claimed that their pilots' exceptional night vision was due to their consumption of large quantities of carrots, which are rich in vitamin A, essential for maintaining healthy vision. British pilots were instructed to use this story if captured by the Germans. The carrot myth proved effective in misdirecting German research, causing them to focus on carrot-based diets for their pilots, while the British maintained their advantage in the skies using their advanced radar technology. The carrot myth persisted long after the war, but in reality, while carrots are important for maintaining healthy eyesight, they don't dramatically enhance night vision.
