How do you turn a verb into a noun? By adding “ing”, of course! In this pair speaking exercise, we asked each of our P4 students to write five questions that they would then ask one other student. All of the questions concerned likes and dislikes, what they did and didn’t enjoy doing, what they were good/bad at, etc. – so as to elicit answers that would employ “ing” words.

We were not surprised to learn that CharisL, a young lady with a flair for fashion, enjoys shopping.
