SCRIPT MODULE 1 ASSIGNMENT 2 http://www.ivoox.com/organising-a-speaking-club-audiosmp3_rf_9914274_1.html Patty: Hey, Cris! Sorry, I’m late! Chris: Don’t worry, it’s ok. How are you doing? You’re soaked! Patty: Yeah, I just come from my, my…painting lesson. We finished a bit late and so I lost the bus; sorry, I missed the bus. Chris: Yes, it’s missed, missed the bus. Patty: I had to come on foot, you know? Chris: Oh! Too bad in this weather… Patty: Yeah, anyway, how was the English class yesterday? Chris: It was good fun and it was quite interesting too. We discussed about, how to say, speaking and, what’s the word, things, sort of tips, strategies… strategies to speak better. Patty: Strategies? What do you mean? Ways of improving speaking? Chris: Yeah, that’s right! We talked about how to speak more and better, do you what I mean? Patty: Yeah, I see. That’s interesting! So, can you tell me any tip? Chris: Well, yes. In fact, for the next day, we need to bring some suggestions to class. We could work together, what do you think? Patty: Fine for me, do you have any idea? Chris: Yes, in fact, to be honest, I’ve been thinking about organizing a speaking club. Patty: A speaking club? What is that? Chris: Well, what I mean is to have like some informal meetings with our classmates where we can speak English. Patty: Well, it sounds great! Chris: Well, these clubs don’t need to, how can I say, they don’t have to be too long…you know? You know what I mean? Patty: Yeah, forty-five minutes or one hour is enough. And where can we meet? In a cafeteria? Chris: Yes, I think the best place is the school’s cafeteria. We could meet maybe before or after the class.
Patty: Sorry, Chris but I don’t agree. In my opinion, we would be very tired after the class. Can you imagine? Two hours speaking English? Chris: Well, it’s not so much but maybe you are right. What about meeting on Friday, let’s say, at 6pm. Most people are free at this time. Patty: Friday’s fine for me. And then we can go for tapas. Chris: Sure we can! So, how can we tell the others? Patty: Actually, I can create a whatsapp group. It’s easy and fast! Chris: That’s a good idea! Well, Patty, I gotta get going. So, see you tomorrow! Patty: Bye, Chris! See ya!
