First Conditional - Prisoner's Dilemma

PRISONER’S DILEMMA

2 guys hold up a bank and they are both arrested by the police and interrogated separately.

You have to decide whether you will stay silent or betray the other prisoner. You don’t know what the other prisoner is going to say, so you have to take a risk.

There are 4 possible results sho

Prisoner A Stays Silent
Prisoner B Stays Silent
Each serves six months

Prisoner A Stays Silent
Prisoner B Betrays
Prisoner A serves ten years
Prisoner B goes free

Prisoner A Betrays
Prisoner B Stays Silent
Prisoner A goes free
Prisoner B serves ten years

Prisoner B Betrays
Prisoner A Betrays
Each serves five years

Students in pairs represent one prisoner and decide what they are going to do. Assign which pair is going to play against which other pair. Get them to write their decision on a paper with their names on it and then collect them and read out the verdict.
They all chose to betray........

Make a list of the following:

All the people mentioned in the story
All the noises that could be heard in the scene
All the evidence that the police can gather from the scene

Role play, police question the girl about what happened
Preparation time, A write the questions, B write notes about what happened.

Exercise 1: Emergency Procedures

Directions: Underline all conditional structures with either 1 (first conditional) or 2 (second conditional)

If you take a look at the handout, you’ll find all the telephone numbers, addresses and other necessary information. If Tom were here, he'd help me with this presentation. Unfortunately, he couldn't make it today. OK, let's get started: Today’s subject is helping guests with emergency situations. We'd certainly have a worse reputation if we didn't handle these situations well. That's why we like to review these procedures every year.

If a guest looses his passport, call the consulate immediately. If the consulate isn’t nearby, you’ll have to help the guest get to the appropriate consulate. It would be great if we had some more consulates here. However, there are also a few in Boston. Next, if a guest has an accident which is not so serious, you’ll find the first-aid kit under the reception desk. If the accident is serious, call an ambulance.

Sometimes guests need to return home unexpectedly. If this happens, the guest might need your help making travel arrangements, re-scheduling appointments, etc. Do everything you can to make this situation as easy to cope with as possible. If there is a problem, the guest will expect us to be able to handle any situation. It’s our responsibility to make sure ahead of time that we can.

2nd conditional exercise

Lesson 4

Electric cigerettes

Before viewing: Discuss
1) Do you believe in fate? Are things pre-determined to happen? Or is it all just coincidence?
2) Do you think that we have a specific day to die?
3) Have you ever seen/been in an accident. How could the accident have been prevented?

Clip from a movie 3rd conditional and luck.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZj1Yeb-tVg

"Had any of these things happened differently, the end of Daisy's afternoon would have been another one."
1. Daisy's shoelace broke.
2. The delivery truck moved moments earlier.
3. The girl broke up with her boyfriend.
4. The man forgot to set the alarm.
5. The woman didn't remember her coat.
6. The taxi driver stopped for a cup of coffee.

Grammar Past perfect

The past perfect refers to a particular point of time in the past.
Examples:

Alfred Hitchcock made many films.
(Past simple - he is dead and cannot make any more.)

Leonardo di Caprio has made many films.
(Present perfect - he is alive and will probably make more films.)

Marlon Brando had made many films by the time he was 40.
(Past perfect with a specific point of time as a reference)

Past and Past Perfect:

What’s the difference?

There are times when the use of past perfect is essential to avoid confusion of when something happened. Compare the following two sentences:

A. The bomb exploded when the police arrived.
B. The bomb had exploded when the police arrived.

To check students' understanding of the difference, give the following sentences and ask them which sentence it most logically follows: A or B.

The police looked for evidence. (B)
The police were too late. (B)
Two police officers were hurt. (A)
The police didn’t know there was a bomb there. (A)

You can do similar exercises with the following sentences, or invent your own.

The plane took off when we arrived
The place had taken off when we arrived.
She walked out when I came into the room.
She had walked out when I came into the room.

Regrets, I’ve had a few …

To practise the use of hypothetical past with the past perfect, a variety of exercises dealing with the function of expressing regret can be used.

Think of some regrets you’ve had in the past and prepare a list of sentences like the following:

I wish I had learnt how to sing.
I wish I had taken piano lessons.
I wish I hadn’t started smoking.
I wish I hadn’t spent so much money on CDs.

Write on the board the key words for each sentence. In this case, it would look like the following:

learn how to sing.
take piano lessons.
start smoking.
spend so much money on CDs.

Exercise 1

Exercise 2 - past simple/past perfect

3rd Conditional

Purpose: practice of:

IF + HAD (N’T) PARTICIPLE, WOULD (N’T) HAVE PARTICIPLE

If+past perfect of have, would have + verb

Daisy and her friend WOULD HAVE CROSSED the street and the taxi WOULD HAVE DRIVEN by.

story:

1. Students write each problem and its corresponding result on the board

EXAMPLE: Her alarm didn't go off – she overslept.

2. Students imagine Sarah had a good morning and use the third conditional:

If her alarm had gone off, she wouldn't have overslept.

Pairs of students make third conditional sentences with the remaining examples.

STORY:

Sarah had to be at the airport for her flight at 9am, but her alarm didn't go off and she overslept. She got dressed very quickly, threw everything into her suitcase and ran out of the house.

When she got to the airport she realised she had forgotten her passport. So she jumped in a taxi and returned home. She grabbed her passport from the coffee table, got in a taxi and went back to the airport.

One mile from the airport the taxi broke down. She tried to flag down another, but they were all taken and so she ran the rest of the way.

When she arrived at the airport, she saw that she had missed her flight. She had to pay 500 dollars for another ticket for the next flight.

While she was waiting, she went to buy a book. She was so preoccupied with her difficult morning that she walked out of the shop without paying and was arrested by the police.

The police detained her for three hours and she missed her flight again. Sarah went home and decided never to fly again!
