      4D  Imaginary situations
    Aims: To review the second conditional to describe
    imaginary situations.
    Time: 10–15 minutes
    Materials: One handout for each student

    Exercise 1
    • Give each student a handout and ask them to do
    exercise 1. Remind them, if necessary, that a sentence
    half beginning with If will not match to another sentence
    half beginning with if.
    KEY
    1  f  ​2  h  ​3  g  ​4  a  ​5  d  ​6  e  ​7  b  ​8  c

    Exercise 2
    • Ask students to read the text quickly, look at the photo
    and then say what kind of person might have written it
    (a young teenage girl). Remind students that we use
    I wish / If only with the past simple to describe a
    situation that we want to be different, and I wish / If only
    with would(n’t) + infinitive to describe behaviour that we
    want to be different. Students can then do the exercise
    working individually or in pairs.
    KEY
    1  wouldn’t come   ​2  had  ​3  took  ​4  ’d get   ​
    5  wouldn’t play   ​6  could  ​7  was / were   ​8  could

    Exercise 3
    • Students work in groups to complain about the
    situations described using If only or I wish. Encourage
    them to make as many complaints as possible! You could
    also run this as a class activity, with each student adding
    another complaint about the situation until they run out
    of ideas.
