This follows the model of the previous two A-level tasks, but at an easier level (A2/Higher GCSE). The topic is volunteering in France. Each partner is given questions to ask about their partner's short text. They take notes in English, then try to summarise them orally. Good for a confident GCSE class. Great listening, reading, speaking and vocab building. I've glossed any potentially awkward vocab. This is a really good information gap task.
