For each of the situations listed below, the pair of students should read the information and then create an improvised dialogue about the situation. When finished, students are to go on to the next situation.
This is a speaking activity and should not require any writing or preparation by the students.
Situation 1 Situation 2 Situation 3 Situation 4
Student One and Student Two are husband and wife. You are discussing what car insurance to buy. What kinds of things should you keep in your car in case of an accident? What is a good price to pay for car insurance? Are there any other things you should plan out?
Student One and Student Two are friends. There is a new auto dealership that opened up during the week near your school and you are excited to know that you are both looking to buy cars. Tell each other about what kind of car you are looking to buy.
Student One lives in Florida, USA. Student Two is Student One's mother or father and lives in New York. Florida has lots of motorbike races so Student One wants to race in one. Student Two thinks Student One should not race motorcycles. Student One loves racing motorcycles and doesn't want to stop.
Student One and Student Two are boyfriend and girlfriend. Student One loves danger and always wants to drift when driving. This means he or she wants to drive crazily. Student Two wants Student One to stop doing this because it is too dangerous. If Student Two doesn't stop, Student One wants to break up.
