T joins the pairs into groups of 4 or 5 and gives them small pieces of paper where the roles are written of the group work. She tells them that they are going to set up a tour company in their region. The roles are: the name and location, type of tours, slogan, the destinations and the representative who will report the group work. T asks them to use the phrases while discussing and design the flip chart to show their ideas. She observes the working process and makes sure Ss are using the phrases and they are talking in English.
Modification: instead of giving one task( tour company) T can have multiple options, either  groups will choose whichever they wish or take one from the box and do what company they will take out.

Recording script. (the recording is taken from course book “Speak Out” intermediate)
W1=1st woman;  M1=1st man;  M2=2nd man;  W2=2nd woman;
W1: First of all we need to decide what food we want to sell.
M I: OK, well, the way I see things, the most important thing is to make sure, in the catering industry, what we want to do, is we want to make sure that we make a seventy percent profit on everything we sell, right? So, we need to think about food that doesn't cost very much to produce, ...
M2: OK, so no smoked salmon, or ...
W2: Exactly. But I think we should decide on a name for the company first, like 'Lotus foods' or 'Saffron', something which sounds exotic.
W1: Hmm. I am not sure that I agree. Let's focus on the issue of a theme for our food, you know like Indian. or Mediterranean first, because that will influence the name.
M2: That's a good point. Also, I suggest we think about how we're going to sell. Because if we're going to events, then the type of food we cook might change, but we could have a name like Food4events.
WI: Good idea.
M 1: Sorry, I missed that.
M2: We could call the company Food4events, and cater for events, weddings and parties. That kind of thing.
W I: I think that's a great idea. Does everyone agree with that?
All: Yes. That's fine. Yup. That's fine by me.
WI: OK. So, moving on to the next point, where do we work from?
M I: We need to be somewhere central, like in central London, and then we can travel to events from there. W2: Sorry, but I'm not sure that central London is a good idea. It's very expensive. I suggest we look outside the city, where it's cheaper to rent office-space.
M2: Yes. I see what you mean. You're right — we don't need to be based in the centre of the city.
W2: Exactly. W I: OK, so let's recap: the company is called Food4events and we sell at parties, events, weddings etc. We're based outside London. Erm ... What else do we need to think about?
M2: How is our company going to be different from others?
W I: Ah I think we need to come back to the kind of food we want to sell. I really feel that we need to specialize, so perhaps we could be Italian.
W2: Now about Mediterranean?
M I:Yes, Mediterranean's really popular.
WI: OK — good point. I like the idea of Mediterranean, actually.
M2: OK. Why don't we call it Italy On The Move? M I:Or Buon Appetito?
WI: I like that. It sounds good. Oh, let's go with Italian, so it's an Italian catering company, and it's called Buon Appetito. That will make us different from the others, and we can have Luka as our head chef! So, let’s sum up what we’ve decided. The company…
