Situation 1: You are talking to your best friend. Talk about what type of music you
like to listen to and why you like it.

Situation 2: You are talking to your teacher. Your class is planning a day out. Two
of the main ideas are: go to a museum or go to the theatre. Decide which idea you
would support. You must speak formally and present your choice.

You will now take part in a conversation. Your idea presented to the teacher seems
to be popular; however, there is one person who thinks strongly that another idea is
a better option. Convince your opponent that you are right. You will have two
minutes to prepare your arguments. I will take the place of your opponent.
