RETELLING A STORY

This is a funny activity for intermediate students. Put the students in pairs (Student A, Student B) Give
Student A a card (like those below). The card includes some expressions Student A must use. Student
B starts a conversation: giving news, explaining a story, etc. (for example, “my cat died
yesterday”)And Student A has to answer using the expressions in the card. If the conversation is
incoherent, Student B has to change its topic or approach.
Here, there are some examples

- Oh, that's wonderful! - Bad luck...

- You are so lucky!! - Yeah, what a pity...
- I envy you! - I can't believe it happened to
- I wish I were you!! you... I'm sorry!
