Second Conditional Speaking Activity

This second conditional speaking activity helps students practice. It is a good variation from the standard conditional conversation questions. 

Here are the instructions:



1.  
The teacher provides students with example tasks and 4 ways to complete these tasks.

Examples:
    
Learn to swim
     a)  watch a video
     b)  Ask friends for help
     c)  Take lessons
     d)  Do it

Clean the kitchen
     a)  Wash the dishes
     b)  Mop the floor
     c)  Take the garbage out
     d)  Clean the oven


2.  
The students work in pairs to discuss 3 main questions:
      a)  What order would you use to complete this task?
      b)  Which items would you not do?
      c)  Which items would you add to the list?

Depending on the samples you give, some hypothetical questions become more appropriate than others. For example, in the swimming example above, it makes more sense to choose one method of learning to swim. In the cleaning example, it makes more sense to discuss the order.

There are no right or wrong answers in this secod conditional speaking activity. This is what creates a situation where the students can be free to speak.
