Part One
Students work with a partner and decide which person is going to be Student One, and who is going to 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 should ask Student Two about the weather forecast this weekend. Student Two should give him or her information about what they've heard the weather is going to be like.
Student One asks Student Two to go to the airport together this afternoon. Student Two does not want to go to the airport because he or she thinks the weather is going to get bad. Student One disagrees with Student Two.
It is the middle of winter. Both Student One and Student Two are miserable because of the terrible weather. Imagine being on a tropical island right now. What would you do?
Student One is planning a night flight. Invite Student Two on the night flight. Student Two wants to come but thinks the weather is going to be bad. Student One doesn't think the weather is going to be bad so he or she isn't worried.
Part Two
Do the activity again, but this time, work with a different partner.
