Work in groups of two or three. Compare your weekends and find out who had one which is described by some of the adjectives below, e.g. whose weekend was more exciting (if you are a pair) or was the most exciting (if there are three or more people in your group).

When your teacher stops you, say who one of the adjectives above is true for, describe the related part of that person’s weekend, and see if anyone else in the class had a weekend which was more extreme in that way.
Ask about any adjectives above you are not sure how to use, can’t pronounce, etc, comparing that aspect with your teacher’s weekend each time.
