Activity

Choose one: 'awful' 

Say situation: 'I failed my exam'.

Others respond with help of the adjective 'Oh, that's awful.'

Put students into small groups. Each student thinks of an adjective from the vocabulary list of opposite adjectives, e.g. awful, and a situation which the adjective could describe (failing an exam). The students take turns to say the situation (I failed my exam) and the others have to respond using the adjective, e.g. Oh, that's awful.
