Put the story in order
A little story I wrote for a class of police officers. It seemed to amuse them. Read the instructions and off you go! Works best for small groups. For bigger groups, get the students who need the most practice to read, while the rest are divided into groups to work as a team putting the text into the right order.

SWOT Analysis 2 - Business English Vocab and Debate
The first SWOT analysis worksheet went down pretty well, as did the TV SWOT analysis and debate, so I did another. This time with a debate at the end. The debate latter is practically the same as the TV debate, though. I�ll change it one day soon when things aren�t so hectic, but if you have done the other ones before. It should work well enough.
