Imagine you are going to a party. Invent an unusual character for yourself and write notes about the person. For example:

Tina and I are talking to each other. We are standing outside a dance-hall and are talking about dancing.

TINA: I haven’t da nced for a long time.

I: Neither have I

TINA: We must g o to a dance soon, or we’ll forget how to dance.

I: Yes, we must. What have you been doing since I last saw you?

TINA: I’ve been studying hard for my examinations. And you?

I: I’ve been learning Japanese every evening.

TINA: Really? Why have you been learning Japanese? Why not English?

I: I hope to visit Japan next year.

TINA: Well, we’ll both have to start learning all the new dances.

I: Yes, let’s go into th e dance-hall and ask if we can take dancing-lessons.

TINA: A good idea. We can teach elephants to dance nowadays perhaps here’s hope for us.

Ask students to make up a dialogue according to it.

Tom Jackson and Charles Brown are talking about their summer holidays at party. Tom: Where are you going for your holidays, Charles?

Charles: To Australia. I’m going to visit my uncle in Brisbane for three weeks. Tom: Oh wonderful! You certainly are lucky. How are you going there? Charles: By air, of course. It takes over two weeks to go by sea.

Tom: I once went to Singapore by air. It was very exciting- but never again. Charles: Why? Did you feel frightened?

Tom: For a short time. One of the engines caught fire.

Charles: Too terrible! What did the pilot do?

Tom: He put it out and flew back to the airport. Then he asked the people at the airport where the emergency runway was.

Charles: Did you land safely?

Tom: Yes, we did. But I shall never fly again.
