New Cutting Edge Intermediate Modules 11 and 12
Use as many cards below as you can to make one third conditional sentence. You get one point for each card if your partners accept your sentence as possible. If your sentence makes no sense (e.g. “I would have abandoned my dice if I had been fascinated”) they should reject it, and play passes to the next person. You are allowed to change the grammar of the words below, e.g. “compensate” instead of “compensation”.
| abandon (= give up) | ankle | anxiety/ anxious | applause (= clap) |
| ban | blizzard | capital punishment | collision |
| compensation | compulsory | concerned | congratulate |
| dice | do badly/ well | do overtime | do your best |
| even number | expert advice | extreme weather | fascinated |
| fault | greed/ greedy | helpline | ignore |
| lack | loaf | lonely/ loneliness | make a decision/ decisions |
| make up your mind | military service | nanny | not have a care in the world |
| odd number | overweight | PE (= physical education) | physical hardship |
| regret | resign | retrain | row/ rower |
| ruin | sailor | slip | smack |
| smart | sort out | steal/ rob | sue |
| sleepless nights | sympathetic | take a risk/ risks | talk it/ things over |
| terminal | think straight | think things/ it over | think up |
| tiny | trip | trouble-free | twist |
| yacht | a good excuse |
Play the same game again, but this time choosing the cards at random by turning them over or pointing with your eyes closed. After you have chosen one, you can decide whether to risk choosing another or not before making your sentence.
Circle words above which could be connected to problems, then put a star (*) next to phrases which could be connected to solutions.
