    This document provides teaching notes for an English language speaking activity where students pretend they are attending a birthday party to practice conversational skills. The activity aims to reinforce use of the present perfect and past simple tenses. Students each receive a name card with details like their character's name, job, and how long they have known the birthday girl, Susie. They mingle and ask each other questions to learn these details without seeing each other's cards. One year later, students try to recall the details they learned at the party. The teacher monitors and provides feedback. Afterwards, students write what they remember about Susie and compare notes.

    Type of activity
    Speaking. Whole class. Stop the students and let them sit down. Tell them they must try and remember the details theyve found out. Tell them its now one year later. They are going to meet again at Susies birthday party. They are going to try to tell each other what they remember. 9 Demonstrate with one student: I think youre Sam and youre a hairdresser. (Remember to add a year to the time they have known Susie). 10 Do the role-play again. (Use name labels if there are a lot of names to remember).

    Task
    To find out, by exchanging information, personal details about a person met at a party. To recall those details.

    Procedure
    1 2
    Ask the students if they have been to a birthday party. Ask what people talk about when they meet for the first time. (Elicit: exchange of personal details, the music, the food, the host/hostess etc.). Explain that they are going to pretend to be at Susies birthday party. Susie is a model. They all know Susie, but dont all know each other. Give one card to each student. Explain that they have to be the person on the card and that they must ask questions to find out information about the other people at the party. Elicit the questions (see Answers below). Elicit what people say when they want to end a conversation, e.g.: I must get another drink. or Oh, theres X, would you excuse me? The students do the role-play. They are not allowed to write anything down or show each other their cards. Walk around and listen and correct if necessary.
