Talking on P55This activity requires students to think critically and learn to be resourceful. Two sample dialogues are as follows:

1. A: Well, I’m not sure about some of these things but I know a can/tin opener is not very useful. B: Why not? A: Think about it: cans/tins are heavy to carry on a bike. So no cans/tins means no can/tin openers. B: Yes, you are right.And I’m not sure about the need for an umbrella. A: But certainly it will rain on their trip. So it is useful. B: I disagree. How can you hold an umbrella and ride a bike? A: Oh, yeah, I see what you mean. So they should have raincoats. B: Yes, and raincoats are not as heavy.

A: How about the radio? I mean, can they really use it? B: Maybe in China to get the weather. A: Yes, sure, but most of the trip is not in China. They don’t know the languages. B: Right, OK, so we agree that a can/tin opener, umbrellas and a radio are useless. A: So which is the most useless?

2. A: I think a tent and a blanket are the most useful. B: I agree, they need them to spend night. And I’m sure of the need of a compass. A: I don’t think so. As long as they travel down the river, they’ll never lose their way. B: Yes, how about a water bottle? A: In my opinion it’s the most useful. They need water all the way.

B: Right. I’m sure they need a map.A: Yes, if they have a map, they’ll know where they are.B: Now a tent, a blanket and a map are the most useful.
