The bigger picture
Work in pairs. What are buildings made of, and what do they look like? Make a list of words you could use to describe an old building and a modern building.
Spoiler alert! You have different information from your partner. Don’t share it until you are told to. Don’t look at your partner’s information – that’s cheating (and boring)!
Person A
- Write a description of this building in Minneapolis, USA.
- Add two details that are wrong.
- Show the picture and your description to your partner. Can s/he spot the mistakes?
- Ask you partner if s/he likes the building and why, or why not.
