IN THE STREET

TASK 1

Your teacher will show you a picture representing two persons in the street. Then she will play a recording* of the dialogue between them. After listening to the dialogue the teacher will ask you and another student to create a new dialogue based on the same structure as the first one. She will also give you some guidelines to do the task.

Tony:	Hello Robert, I can’t believe it! After such a long time we finally meet again!
Robert:	Hi Tony. What a surprise. And how are you?
Tony:	I am fine, thank you. And you? What do you do now?
Robert:	I am OK. I work as a clerk in the public administration sector right now.
Tony:	Oh, it sounds good! Do you like it?
Robert:	Well, it is a little bit boring because we spend a lot of time doing nothing. And you, what do you do?
Tony:	I am a Human Resources consultant at an employment agency. I really enjoy my job because it is very mind-stimulating.
Robert:	Good for you. So, why don’t we go some place and have a drink together?
Tony:	Why not? Let’s go then.
