The presentation must include some specific information (their likes and dislikes, their favourite food, their habits, some personal data etc).Thus, the teacher will provide a guide with some points to be covered. Then, the rest of the class will listen to the presentation and they will have to answer some questions related to their peers´presentations. .

• When was your partner born?
• How was his/her personality?
• What did your partner like to do when he/she was a child?
• What was his/her favourite food?
• Was your partner a good student?
• Which was his/her favourite subject?

The following presentation may be taken as an example. The images may be real or not since the point here is to make our students to speak in English! This acitivy will be surely an engaging one for them because it has a meaningful context and is related to their real life. This is always attracting for them!
