1. a phone call
work in pairs. Student A: to page 127. Student B: Go to page 128. Take two or three minutes to prepare. Then have a conversation.
Student A
You are a son or daughter. You are at home.
You want to see a friend.
You are phoning your mum or dad about it.
When your mum/dad tells you that you should do some housework, ask her/him what you have to do.
Also, tell your mum/dad that there are some things she/he shouldn't forget. When she/he asks you what things say:
She/He...
1) should do the shopping
2) shouldn't be late tonight (you want to watch a DVD together with her/him)
3) mustn't forget to bring some chocolate biscuits!
The line is not very good so you have to ask your mum or dad several times to repeat what she/he has said.
Student B
You are a mum or dad. Your son/daughter is phoning you.
Make sure he/she knows that he/she has to do some housework before he/she can go out. When he/she asks you, say:
He/She...
1) has to tidy up his/her room
2) should load the dishwasher
3) mustn't forget to vacuum the floor
When your son or daughter tells you that there are things you shouldn't forget, ask them what things.
The line is not very good so you have to ask your son or daughter several times to repeat what he/she has said.
