GUESS WHO?


Learning another language is learning another culture.It is going to be very helpful if the learners can recognize different speeches used in distinctive places.

Let's see some examples:
e.g: Could you bring us the bill, please?

question: Where would you listen it?

answer: In a restaurant.

Prepare a variety of situations with just one sentence:

e.g:
keep the change!
say "cheese!"
flight 4335 is now boarding through gate 4
next, please!
a pack of paracetamol, please!

Possible answers:
customer to the waiter,
taking photos,
airport,
in a queue in the bank, supermarket, post office, etc
chemist, drugstore.

Try to emphasize the sentences in a context. Play roles building up a situation in each of the places above.

e.g:
waiter: Would you like some coffee, Sir?
customer: No thank you. Could I have the bill, please?
waiter: Certainly!
The waiter brings the bill.
customer: (pays) keep the change!
waiter: Thank you, Sir! Good night!

Option: Guess Who?
Answer: Waiter, photographer, cashier, customer


Time: 20 min.
Objective: building up vocabulary and interaction

Enjoy...
