13. Group work. Split into two groups of four to six students: 
1. One of the groups has to prepare the role of the interviewers and write down questions 
each interviewer could ask the members of the "ideal family". The other group represents 
an "ideal family"; they should allocate the different roles within the group and talk about 
the personalities, ways of behaviour and ideas of the people in their family and give 
advice to other families.
2. The "ideal family" is interviewed by a different interviewer in turn in front of the class. 
At the beginning each member of the family introduces either himself or another family 
member.
3. Since a lot of the students' values and ideals regarding families will have become 
obvious, they should discuss them afterwards.
