Role - play

Hi everybody!



As a project, I would like you to perform a short role play. Here is a page with some examples. In the web, you can find a text and a podcast (where you can listen to how the words are pronounced.) Como un trabajo, me gustaría que hicierais un teatrillo en inglés. Aquí hay algunos ejemplos. En la página, podeis encontrar un texto y un listening.

Dialogue: A Job Interview



John has a job interview for a Saturday job
Interviewer:So, you've applied for the Saturday position, right?
John:Yes, I have.
Interviewer:Can you tell me what made you reply to our advertisement?
John:Well, I was looking for a part-time job to help me through college. And I think that I'd be really good at this kind of work.
Interviewer:Do you know exactly what you would be doing as a shop assistant?
John:Well I imagine I would be helping customers, keeping a check on the supplies in the store, and preparing the shop for business.
Interviewer:That about covers it, you would also be responsible for keeping the front of the store tidy. What sort of student do you regard yourself as . . . did you enjoy studying while you were at school?
John:I suppose I'm a reasonable student. I passed all my exams and I enjoy studying subjects that interest me.
Interviewer:Have you any previous work experience?
John:Yes. I worked part-time at a take-away in the summer holidays.
Interviewer:Now, do you have any questions you'd like to ask me about the position?
John:Yes. Could you tell me what hours I'd have to work?
Interviewer:

We open at 9.00, but you would be expected to arrive at 8.30 and we close at 6.00 pm. You would be able to leave then.

I think I have asked you everything I wanted to. Thank you for coming along to the interview.

John:Thank you. When will I know if I have been successful?
Interviewer:We'll be making our decision next Monday, we'll give you a call.
