Tower Bridge

Tower Bridge is a bridge in London. It crosses the River Thames near the Tower of London. The north side of the bridge is Tower Hill, and the south side of the bridge comes down into Bermondsey, SE1, an area in Southwark. It is far more visible than London Bridge, which people often mistake it for. If large boats need to sail under Tower Bridge, the two halves of the bridge lift up to let it under. Many tourists go to London see the Tower Bridge. (http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_Bridge)

Students (Ss) are working in pairs for writing a dialogue of questions and answers with can and/or can't. After a while, Ss start to read their dialogues:

Q: Can you play an instrument?
A: No, I can't.
Q: Can you sing?
A: No, I can't.
Q: Can you dance?
A: No, I can't.
Q: Can you play a sport?

... (A few more questions about what they cannot do)
Sometimes, it's really hard to make students use all the things they've learned; especially when they are not so talented :)
