b Have Ss look at where the phrase ‘make a difference’ is located in the conversation (People donate books and clothes to street children, and that makes a difference). Ask Ss to think about how books and clothes can help to better the children’s lives. If needed, explain to Ss that ‘make a difference’ means doing something good, especially to improve a situation.

Then ask Ss if they know of a community garden in their neighbourhood. Have Ss discuss the last two questions in pairs. Then T elicits answers as a class.
