An easy way i like to get students expanding is by role-playing an airplane scene, with 1 student as the flight attendant and 1 or 2 students as the passengers. It's easy to slip in a few hints to get them going ( e.g. "thirsty", "hungry", "bored", "cold", and so on). I like to teach this lesson for all students who are planning a vacation in the near future. Help them enjoy their flight! Also great for shopping and restaurants, and easy to combine with those lessons! Edward- FC Ohtsu Al-
