Main Activity (40min): "Advice Clinic Roleplay"

Scenario cards (forgot lunch, rainy day no umbrella, argument with friend, scared of presentation). Pairs: client explains problem 30 seconds; advisor gives 2 should + 1 could sentence. Swap roles. Write problem-solution paragraph using frame: Problem → Advice 1 → Advice 2 → My choice. Volunteers perform best roleplay — class notes advice given. Discuss: kind advice vs bossy advice.
