Correction of exercises
In the first exercise insist on the fact that you must play "high and short" whenever you have high cards in the short suit {case (a) and (d)}. Show that in case (c ) playing the certain trick with the Ace then the small card allows you to cash in two certain tricks. Congratulate those who have replied correctly to the second exercise, particularly for diagram (d) which is the most difficult. Get them to see that the favourable distribution of a suit can be combined with cashing in honours.

Comprehension questions

a)	Is it possible to make long suit tricks with
		6 4 9 8 5 2
	Value responses which realise that one or other of the opponents has at least four cards in the suit.
		4 9 8 6 5 2
	Get them to discover that if there is a 4 - 3 split the fifth card becomes a master… but don't forget to say that in general it would be better to find another suit to look for the missing trick!
b)	Write on the board the following suit:
		Q 10 3 K J 5 4
	Ask how to play it and don't accept the answer: first the Queen then the 10. Show them that if the hand is in South they must start with a low card.
