\"Personal<\/p>\n

Personal Information – Advanced<\/h2>\n

This personal information questionnaire is one of my favourite lessons. It is suitable for both FCE (B2) and CAE (C1) levels and takes no preparation time at all.<\/p>\n

However, it is a highly productive lesson, where you can uncover many basic errors that students still make at these higher levels.<\/p>\n

Start by having students ask you the interview questions by using direct questions. The question topics are designed to cover almost all tenses and basic grammar structures.<\/p>\n

When they have finished, and perhaps after you have corrected a few, or a lot of basic errors, start again. But now have the students use indirect, or polite question forms.<\/p>\n

This is actually a long controlled practice stage, before letting the students work in pairs to interview each other.<\/p>\n

The lesson can be graded for students in the early stages of preparing for the FCE by leaving out the indirect question form.<\/p>\n
