Form yourselves into groups of three members. Role-play any of the following
situations and show how you can initiate a conversation with a stranger or strangers.
Write your draft on the next page.

1. You are a new student in class. After dismissal time, you saw two of your female
classmates outside the school building talking to each other. You wanted to ask about
the classes you missed and how you could cope with the lessons. You approached
them but they suddenly turned and whispered to each other. How will you initiate a
conversation with them without showing that you are offended by their actions?

2. It was your first time to fly to a foreign country and the trip takes about eight hours.
You wanted to know how to get to your destination from the airport. You were
fortunate to be seated beside a foreign national. He is not so proficient in English and
you have difficulty understanding his accent. How will you start a conversation with
him?

3. You are scheduled for a job interview. When you arrived at the place, there was a
long queue of applicants. You were the tenth to be interviewed and you wanted to
have an idea about the questions that were asked. To arrest your fear, you decided to
talk with the other applicants before you. How will you start the conversation?
