I introduce day3 and day4 in intensive English course. Day3, student were divided into three groups in the morning lesson. Then, student must speak English all that time. At Rebecca’ class, they played board game. The squares were written some question, for example “If you were Rabbit, what you would do? Please tell us.” This is a practice how to use “if” and answers.
