examples. Elicit some answers when finished.

Ž Direct the students to the words in the box on the right. Students should read through the conversation and fill
in the spaces. Have them check their answers with a partner and then practice the conversation twice,
switching roles. Go through the answers with the group.

 Have students read the substitution boxes. Answer any vocabulary questions. Demonstrate a conversation with
a confident student, using the cues.

Assign pairs. Students can practice the conversations, switching roles regularly.

 Students can work in pairs. Model an example with a confident student, choosing a movie from your
imagination.
