WITHDRAWAL GROUPS

I’ve begun to take some students in what’s known as ‘withdrawal groups’ which makes it sound like we’re trying to get over our drug habits! Instead, we do role-play (this sounds decidedly dodgy) where they have to assume roles like ‘phoning a hotel to make a reservation with me as the stroppy receptionist. Heaven help them if they ever do it for real else they might end up with two people in a single room with no bath or shower paying £500 each. Good job I am here to rescue their English!
