B Roleplay
Work in groups of four (or three). You are going to have a meeting on the following proposal:
Whether or not to replace the funfair in the centre of town with a new shopping centre.
Read your cards carefully and then hold the meeting. Use language to:
a) ask polite questions
b) put your points forcefully
c) be diplomatic
| STUDENT A: You are supporting the shopping centre. You believe the funfair is old and makes the town centre look ugly. The new shopping centre will bring many jobs and provide a service to the whole city. It will also make you a lot of money as you own part of the land. |
| STUDENT B: You are supporting the funfair. All of your children love going to the funfair in the summer and there is nowhere else for children to go. The only other option is a shopping centre where they waste their money and get bored. You think money should be spent to improve the funfair. You agree the town needs another shopping centre but it should be outside of the town. |
| STUDENT C: You do not believe there should be a shopping centre or a funfair in the town, The funfair is too noisy and causes a lot of problems in the summer with crowds. The funfair is also old and ugly. A shopping centre will mean traffic problems. You think the land should be used to build a park as there are not enough quiet green places in the town. |
| STUDENT D: You think that any project will be wasting the government’s money. You think the land should be sold to a private developer and then the developer can decide what to build there. The funfair must go but anything else could be built there. You think the government should spend the money on public transport which is very bad in the town right now. |
