4. Work with a partner. Use the following sentence beginnings to write statements (preferably, describing your school or university life) which are true for you and which you believe are also true for your partner.

5. Use the sentences you’ve written in 4 to play Bingo. Copy the Bingo card on a separate piece of paper. With a partner, take turns to read out one of your sentences in 4. If your partner can answer with one of the responses on the Bingo card, you can cross out one square. If your partner can’t use one of the responses because what you say is not true for them, you must wait for your next go to try another sentence. The aim of the game is to be the first person to cross out all the squares on the card.
| So did I. | Nor am I. | So am I. |
| So must I. | So did I. | So am I. |
| Neither can I. | Neither have I. | So would I. |
| So do I. | Neither will I. | So have I. |
