Teacher Notes

• !his answer key is deliberately kept concise since the idea of these +on"ersation +orners

is to talk rather informally and share information, not being gi"en all the information by

the teacher. B!W, the con"ersation should focus more on expressing opinions than gi"ing

correct answers.

• -tudents could be gi"en the opportunity to do some research on the nternet to find moreinformation and answers to the /uestions.

• 0lso, students could prepare /uestions they were unable to answer and gi"e a short

presentation during the next lesson.

• a"e a dictionary at hand #or an nternet connection$ if possible so students can look up
