Dialogue practice
Do these activities in class after mastering the dialogue for this lesson. Change partners so that you practice each part several times.
Dialogue 15A and 15B: Work with two or three other classmates and take turns introducing one of your classmates to your “parents” when they visit your home. Hosts should try to use as many polite expressions as possible to make the guest feel welcome. Guests should express gratitude and praise. Someone should suggest that they take a picture.
Dialogue 15C: Continue playing the role of guest and host through dinner. Hosts: be humble about your food offerings and curious about what your guests have eaten before. Guests: be generous in your praise of the food and your hosts’ home.
