Stereotypes

I'm sorry to inform you that next Friday 19th February, I won't be able to attend Bar Chat.

Next session will be held on Friday 26th February and the topic will be... Stereotypes!
What is true behind stereotypes? What is the origin of these beliefs?
I recommend you to read some stereotypes about Spaniards and about British people and see if they are true or not. We'll talk about it next day.
Here's a link to a pdf document where you can read stereotypes about these other nationalities.

"In heaven, all the policemen are British, all of the lovers are French, all of the chefs are Italian, all of the cars are German, and the whole thing is run by the Swiss.

In hell, all of the policemen are German, all of the lovers are Swiss, all of the chefs are British, all of the cars are French, and the whole thing is run by the Italians."

Headband

Next Friday 12th February, we'll be playing headbandz. On a headband, on your head, there'll be a word you'll have to guess, so we'll be practising making Yes/No questions. The word can be a noun, a verb or an adjective.
You might need the following structures:
- Is it a person / an animal / a fictitious character / an object...?
- Is it male / female / a boy / a girl...?
- Is it a feeling?
- Do you find it in...?
- Do you use it to...?
- Does he/she/it ...?
- Is it something you do when...?
- Is it someone who...?

Storytelling

Next Friday 5th February, we'll be telling stories at Bar Chat. Get a story ready and tell it to us. If not, we'll make up our own. Here is a link where you can read some.
