Exercise 1
Read Miguel’s description of his habits and try to come up with the possible questions to complete his description.
Exercise 2
The excerpt below was taken from the description of findings of an information report, determine the topics and themes and then write the possible questions used to gather this information.
One of the main factors was stress. The principal cause of stress in students is studying. For example, 68 % of them expressed that their greatest concern is study; it causes them to be stressed. Many others feel stress for family problems, money, and mobility in Medellin. On the other hand, most students prefer to take a break when they feel stressed and some other ones prefer to do exercise. Many others prefer other activities such as doing yoga, playing games, sleeping, and eating. Few of them take medicines or other substances for stress. Most of them prefer not to take medicines or other substances.
