Their classmate looks at the preferences on their card and answers using an appropriate object pronoun, e.g. 'No, I don't like it'. If a classmate responds with the same preference as the student asking the question (e.g. 'Yes, I love it'), the two students take it in turns to ask questions to see if all their preferences are the same. If so, the two students sit down together. When all the students have found a partner, they give feedback on what preferences they have in common with their partner according to their cards.
