Speak
P09-S2 · A short update from a café
Tell a friend what three people are doing at a café. Then ask the friend for something you need.
You are at Garden Café. You are waiting for lunch. An is reading a menu. Bea is writing a postcard. You need a pen after Bea finishes. Your lunch is a cheese sandwich.
- Use the card to make short notes, not a full script.
- Give the three updates and one request.
- Your partner checks the facts and asks a follow-up question.
Partner only · open on a separate screen or after the attempt
You are the friend. Listen without seeing the learner card. Note each person and action. Respond to the pen request: Yes, you can use my pen. Ask: What is your lunch? Repeat one fact to check you understood.
Studying alone
Solo rehearsal. Tell me where you are. What are you doing? What are An and Bea doing? What do you need? What is your lunch?
This is rehearsal. Use a real partner to observe two-way interaction.
