Question

Compare answers with the person in your group who read the same text. Which country do you think the writer is from and where do you think they are living?

Answer

  • Student A text – from somewhere in the northern hemisphere, maybe Scandinavia or Russia, has moved to somewhere warmer, maybe the southern part of the USA (she watches ice hockey, the health service is expensive)
  • Student B text – has come from somewhere where there is a war, e.g. Syria, or Somalia (it’s hot and there is not enough water), probably now living in the UK (it rains a lot, the health service is free, people are polite but it’s difficult to know them)
