Speak Up

Speak up
You now get a chance to practise your speaking in various different situations that are all related to the theme. Try to practise as many as you can!
If you have enough time, use the peer-feedback form .
 

Situation 1 - Chit-chat
You meet a friend. Ask him or her how he/she is doing. Tell him/her how you are doing as well. Tell each other something interesting that you did last weekend. Say goodbye in an appropriate way too (e.g. say you would like to see him/her soon).

 

Situation 2 - Answering the phone
You need the phone number of Taj Mahal Indian restaurant in Brighton.
Call an information number to ask what the number is. You and your classmate both act out the role of the caller and the receiver at least once.

 

Situation 3 - New neighbours
You have moved house and have new neighbours of course. You knock on the door to introduce yourself and you want to invite your neighbour for a drink at your place another time. You and your classmate act out the conversation. Make sure you both practise each role at least once.

 

Situation 4 - In the post office
You have a letter to post. You live in England and you have a letter for your Dutch pen pal. You don't know how many stamps you should put on your letter and you want the letter to arrive soon (priority mail). Act the conversation out with a classmate. One of you is the client, the other one works at the post office. Make sure you both practise each role at least once.
