What was the meaning of the 20,000 left-foot shoes? Provocative, amusing, controversial, bafíling. Challenge to Think is a fascinating compendium of English language puzzles, problems, thinking games, questions and issues, to give intermediate students practice in vitai language skills. Part 1 Speaking: spoken exercises promote the asking of correct questions, statement analysis, intensive discussion and creative thinking, with exercises such as Puzzle Stories, Causes and Consequences, and Switch Sentences. Part 2 Reading and Speaking: students read and share opinions about stories, problems and issues, practising comprehension, logical thinking and self-expression. Exercises include Deduction Puzzles, Contradictions and Lies, All Lies! Part 3 Writing and Speaking: written solutions provide a basis for shared oral work. Exercises include Creative Drills, Describe Yourself, and Finish the Story. Class time for the exercises in each section varies from ten minutes to an hour. Many of the exercises, particularly in the preliminary reading and writing stages, may easily be adapted for homework. The emphasis throughout the book, however, is on spoken English. The development of strong relationships within the group or class, based on the sharing of problems, ideas and experience, is at the core of this book. Vissza
