Task

You are going to work in groups of 4 or 5 students (as I have assigned in class) to act out the following Role-play activity:

Your class is going on a trip on a boat tomorrow. Most of the students have their own problems about the seats, so the teacher has to listen to his/her students and suggest the most suitable seats for the students. Each member of the group will play a role of:

The teacher of the class - who will listen to his/her students and decide the best seats for them.
Student A: Doesn’t want to get sunburnt
Student B: Has travel sickness, needs fresh air and avoids the air-conditioned
Student C: Wants to enjoy the views outside and take photos
Student D: Wants to be by his/her self

Below is the seat map on the boat, you have to refer to this map to present your conversation.

Process

As instructed in the class, you are expected to record a 2 to 3-minute conversation and then upload it (under the .mp3 file) on Google Drive, and then copy the link of the recording to:
