T: Now it is time to practice using the expressions of surprise. One imagines or thinks of something amazing, and the other one chooses an expression of surprise from the list in Ex. 3 or any others that express surprise. Then you swap the roles. Let's read the example beforehand. SA: I once say a woman who was running backwards

carrying a bag of potatoes. SB: You're kidding! Ss practice in pairs. T: OK. Which group would like to present your work to us?
