This is a speaking and listening activity written in the style of the NCFE reformed Functional Skills assessment. It is based on the 'Happy News: It's not all bad' reading resource previously published on skillsworkshop. Three task are covered: presentation (talk), Q&A session and a formal discussion.
This activity can be used as an icebreaker or as resource when teaching about 3rd person agreement in the present tense.
Learners ask 'Do you ..... ?' and use the answers in the box to complete the question however after the Tutor's monitoring they should realise that the answer form cannot be used for the question form.
The questionnaire has 16 boxes but according to time and size of class, it can be reduced by folding the questionnaire so only 8 questions are used instead.
