Part One

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 the airport manager and the airport fire chief. You are discussing how to prepare for a aviation accident. What kinds of things should you keep at the airport to prepare? Where should the command post be located? Are there any other things you should plan out?
Student One and Student Two are friends. There was a large earthquake during the day while you were both at the airport and you are relieved to see that you are both safe. Tell each other about where you were and what you experienced when the earthquake happened.
Student One is an airline chief pilot. Student Two is a first officer new to the airline. The Chief Pilot is briefing the First Officer. Florida always gets strong winds from hurricanes prior to them arriving on the coast. The Chief Pilot warns the new first officer of the wind shears and strong crosswinds that will be experience on approach and landing during the hurricane season.
Student One and Student Two are husband and wife. Student One loves danger and always wants to chase storms as a hurricane hunter for the Weather service. This means he wants to go close to bad storms and experience the crazy weather. Student Two wants Student One to stop doing this because it is too dangerous. If Student Two doesn't stop, Student One wants to divorce.
