Hi, Guys!!!,
Every year, I ask you to make a final Project
to get an extra point in your final mark. So, this year, I am going to ask you
to write a role play, since it is one of the best ways to learn English, to use
the target language in a real context, and it is also a good way to encourage
you to speak up and practice your English in real situations. It is very
simple, you must follow these steps:
1st step: You have to work in pairs.
By email, you must send your English teacher, me, your dialogue and your role play cards of your
characters. Deadline or final date: 17th June.
2nd step: Choose on the following
situations:
1. Taxi driver – passenger.
2. At a hotel: Receptionist – Customer.
3. At a restaurant: waiter – customer.
4. At home: mother – child.
5. At school: teacher – pupil.
6. At the airport: flight attendant –
passenger.
7. At the supermarket: shop assistant –
customer.
8. At the computer shop: shop assistant –
customer.
9. At the disco: two friends (casual talk and
using slang words).
10. Telephone conversation: boss – wrong
person.
11. Job interview: employer – employee
12. At the hospital: doctor – patient.
13. At a soccer stadium: opponent supporters.
14. A celebrity interview: TV host – famous
person.
15. Holidays – two strangers on a train.
16. Finding a roommate: owner – new possible mate.
17. Sport interview: a popular sport man/woman
– a TV journalist.
3rd step: Briefly, introduce and
describe your two characters in two different cards. Then, add some ideas for
the conversation. See the examples below.
|
A taxi driver (a middle aged man/woman driving
a cab in London)
|
A passenger (a young teenager who is visiting
London for the first time)
|
|
1. Greet the passenger and ask him / her
where he / she wants to go.
2. Say the price. Make some comments on the
weather. Ask the passenger if he / she likes this weather.
3. Answer the passenger's questions. Boast
that your son has recently travelled to Spain to learn Spanish.
4. Say what places and monuments the
passenger should go and see.
|
1. Greet the taxi driver and say where you
want to go. Ask what the price will be.
2. Answer the taxi-driver's question and ask
what kind of weather he/she likes.
3. Say that you like travelling and make some
comments about the importance of learning languages.
4. Ask the taxi-driver what places to visit
in London.
|
4th step: Write down a dialogue
between these two characters. Underline the most relevant sentences or key
words for these different situations.
5th step: Perform the role play in
class as best as you can (in 5 -10 min). You must take into account your
English pronunciation, you must learn and study your dialogue, you can add some
gestures to make your role playing game more believable and funnier. Enjoy
it!!!

world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players".

7. Rephrasing Modals 
Hi, Guys!!!, 
1. Lines 2-4: "Nada Al-Ahal ... posted a video on YouTube explaining why she ran away to a void a forced marriage...I'd rather die than be forced into an arranged marriage".
