Working on feelings and attitudes

One comment that is often expressed at Cambridge English seminars is that students find it hard to pick up on feelings and attitudes.

When I saw these pictures and the video they come from, I thought they would make great material for class and for working on feelings and attitudes.

First, show students the pictures (preferably one by one):

What's the matter with this man?  How is he feeling?

Who is the man in the light blue T-shirt?  What's the problem?What's the man in the jacket saying to him?

And this woman?  How does she feel?  What's she saying?  

Why has the man's expression changed?

Why is this man looking so happy?  What sign is he making?  Why?

Then, show them this video:

Students could 'become' one of the people who was parked.  They have just arrived home.  They are telling their family/friends about what happened to them today.....
