Have students work in pairs, one student
role-playing Raúl and the other role-playing a
news reporter. Have the reporter ask Raúl five
questions, each containing one of the following
key words:
breakfast, valuable, fuel, machine,
teammates.
Tell students that each of Raúl’s
responses should also include the key word
used in the question. When students have
asked and answered five questions, have them
switch roles and conduct a second interview in
the same way.
