Part One
Students work with a partner and decide which person is going to be Student One, and who is going to be Student Two. 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 friends but disagree about fashion. Student One thinks it is very important to have the latest and newest clothes, but Student Two thinks it is more important to wear whatever is most comfortable.
Student One is Student Two's child. Student One always wears black clothing and black make-up. Student Two wants to know why Student One chooses this kind of fashion. Student Two should try to convince Student One to wear other colours of clothing.
Student One and Student Two are friends. Student One thinks it's really strange to buy second-hand clothing, but Student Two thinks it's fine. Discuss your opinions.
Student One and Student Two are friends. Student Two wants to get a tattoo because he or she thinks it's fashionable. Student One thinks his or her friend should not get a tattoo. They think Student Two is making a bad decision.
