Question
Where are Rohan and Rajini from?
Divide the class into six groups. Your teacher will read out from page 249 the conversation between four people talking about the Indian states they live in. As soon you think you know which region the first person is speaking about, ask your teacher to stop. If you are right your group gets a point. If you are wrong, all the other groups get a point and the teacher starts again. But your group isn’t allowed to guess again for this region. Then listen to the other three speakers in the same way. Which group has got the most points at the end?
