    7 Regrets
    Activity
    Individual & groupwork. Students imagine various regrets
    and thoughts about the past that various characters might
    have.

    Focus
    Hypothetical past situations.

    Preparation
    Photocopy one worksheet for every eight students. Cut the
    worksheet into separate role cards.

    Procedure
    • Explain that students are going to think about regrets and
    thoughts about the past that various characters might
    have.
    • Hand out one role card to each student. Tell students not
    to show each other their cards.
    • Students work individually to write notes for points 1–3,
    imagining what their character’s life is like and thinking
    about what they regret and don’t regret. Tell them to use
    all three of the structures listed on their card.
    • When students are ready, divide the class into groups of
    three or more students.
    • Students take it in turns to read out their answers to points
    2 and 3 (i.e. not the description in point 1 or the role card
    itself).
    • When they have heard the regrets and non-regrets, the
    other students should discuss together to see if they can
    guess as accurately as possible who the person is that is
    being described. When they have said their guess, the
    original student can read the role card aloud. How close
    were they?
