Student B: “Are you joking?”/ “Of course not, try again”

Student A: “Maybe you always wash your hair in the morning”

Student B: “No, not so often”

Student A “Okay, that’s easy then. You wash your hair once every two or three days”

Student B “Almost right!”/ “Getting closer”

Student A “Then it must be- you wash your hair once or twice a week”

Student B “That’s right! Now it’s my turn to guess your sentence”
