Life in a Parallel Universe

This engaging speaking activity is designed for B2-C1 learners, focusing on the concept of a parallel universe where one major aspect of life differs radically from our own. It encourages students to use conditional and imaginative language to discuss how these changes would affect daily life, relationships, and society.

How to Use This Activity

Offline: Hand out cards with different life aspects that are altered in these universes. Students pick an aspect, brainstorm in groups, and later share their unique perspectives with the class to stimulate a comprehensive discussion.

Online: Distribute the list of altered life aspects through a digital document or chat. Students select their aspect in breakout rooms to discuss, then regroup to share their discussions with the class. Wrap up with a group reflection to enhance learning and insight.
