• Ask students if there are any other occasions on which they 
might send a card, e.g. on Valentine’s Day, when someone 
gets engaged (to be married).
• Students can write more than four answers if they want to.
• Discuss answers with the class. Read out each word in turn 
and get students to raise their hand if they communicate with 
their friends in this way.

I bought this card for you
Ask students if any of them make their own cards. In Britain, for 
example, card making is becoming more and more popular, and 
there are specialist shops where you can fi nd the things you 
need to make them.
1 Ask students if they have ever received a card in English.
Ask students to do the exercise. When they have fi nished, ask 
them which of the words on the cards you can also say to 
people, i.e. Many happy returns of the day! Get better soon! 
Good luck with your exams! Sorry you’re leaving, Thank you, 
Congratulations! 
Ask students which of the cards they like the best and why.
