Point at a tile: "Number 1. What is the goal?" The room answers in the chat. Then the bridge to the grammar sheet: the same goal two ways, I hope to buy a house (the verb) and I dream of buying a house (-ing). Ask "Is this a hope or a dream for you?" Number 1, become a citizen, is the civics thread: ask who hopes to become a citizen this year. The answer key is at the foot of the sheet.
