Pedagogical Guide
Objective & content
A one-page B1 printable on adjectives of relationships, built on eight synonym pairs such as friendly / kind and lonely / alone. Students draw a line from each of the eight words in the left column to the word in the right column that means something very similar; the right column is printed in a different order.
Pedagogical guide
Several pairs overlap only in part: lonely names a feeling while alone names a situation, and close and near shift between people and places. Use the sheet to show that B1 synonyms overlap without being equal. A wrong line always strands a second word, so gaps show at once.
Suggested procedure
- (5 min) Read the left-hand column aloud, then the right-hand column, which is printed in a different order.
- (10 min) Students work alone in pencil and draw a line from each left-hand word to the word of very similar meaning on the right.
- (5 min) Pairs compare their lines and defend any difference before you check.
- (5 min) Correct with the answer key page. Ask what separates lonely from alone: a person can be one without the other.
Adaptations
[S] Fold the sheet so that only four left-hand words show, and start with the clearest pairs, such as friendly / kind.
[A] Students write two sentences with close / near, one about a friend and one about a place.
Materials & prerequisites
One printed copy per student and a pencil rather than a pen. Keep the answer key page for yourself.
