Simple speaking activity I recently used with my University students in Korea. They choose 2 magazine genres they ARE interested in and 1 magazine genre they are NOT interested in and practice how to express likes and dislikes using the example expressions provided on slide 4. I printed out slide 4 so each person had a copy in their possession.
