Now you try it!

Intro Student One Student Two

In this activity, you will practice asking focused questions.

Work with a partner. One of you will be Student One and the other will be Student Two. First, Student One will choose a card and begin the conversation:   

Попрацюйте з партнером. Кожен з вас повинен вибрати карту.

Student 1: Start with a greeting (Hi! How’s it going? What’s up? What’s new?) then read the card out loud. 

Спікер 1: Почніть з привітання (Привіт! Як справи? Що сталося? Що нового?), а потім прочитайте картку вголос.

Student 2: Greet your partner, listen to what they say and respond with a focused question.

Спікер 2: Привітайтеся з партнером, вислухайте, що він говорить, і дайте відповідь, поставивши сфокусоване запитання.

Student 1: Explain the word that your partner didn’t understand. 

Спікер 1: Поясніть слово, яке не зрозумів ваш партнер.

Student 2: Say mm hmm (or Okay/I see/I get it) to show you understand. Then read your card.  

Спікер 2: Скажіть "ммм" (або "Окей", "Я бачу", "Я зрозумів"), щоб показати, що ви зрозуміли. Тоді прочитайте свою картку.

For example, you both pick a card. 

Наприклад, ви обидва вибираєте картку. Почніть з привітання, а потім...
