Role play
Watch the video and imitate(模仿) the pronunciation and intonation of the role you are going to act.
Practice the play in groups of 4.
Pay attention to your pronunciation and intonation, and you can add some gestures or postures to the acting.
Owner: That one’s reserved. This way, please. Take this gentleman’s order, please.
Henry: I’d like some ham and eggs and a nice big steak. Make it extra thick. I’d also like a cup of coffee and a pineapple dessert.
Waiter: Right, sir. I’m afraid it will cost a large amount of money.
Henry: I understand. And I’ll have a large glass of beer.
Waiter: OK.
Hostess: My goodness! Why, look at him. He eats like a wolf.
Henry: Would you mind waiting just a few minutes?
Waiter: What’s there to wait for?
Owner: All right, Horace. I’ll take care of this.
Henry: That was a wonderful meal. It’s amazing how much pleasure you get out of the simple things in life, especially if you can’t have them for a while.
Owner: Yes, very interesting. Now perhaps, sir, if you pay your bill I can help the other customers.
Henry: Well, I see it’s two o’clock. I’m very sorry. But…I…I don’t have anything smaller.
Owner: Well…er…just one moment. Maggie, look! Do you think it’s genuine?
Hostess: Oh, dear, I don’t know. I simply don’t know.
Owner: Well, I did hear that the Bank of England had issued two notes in this amount…Anyway, I don’t think it can be a fake. People would pay too much attention to a bank note of this amount. No thief would want that to happen.
Hostess: But he’s in rags!
Owner: Perhaps he’s very strange, rich man. Why, yes! That must be it!
Hostess: And you put him in the back of the restaurant! Go and see him at once.
Owner: I’m so sorry, sir, so sorry, but I cannot change this bank note.
Henry: But it’s all I have on me.
Owner: Oh, please, don’t worry, sir. Doesn’t matter at all. We’re so very glad that you even entered
our little eating place. Indeed, sir, I hope you will come here whenever you like.
Henry: Well, that’s very kind of you.
Owner: Kind, sir? No, it’s kind of you. You must come whenever you want and have whatever you like. Just having you sit here is a great honor! As for the bill, sir, please forger it.
Henry: Forget it? Well…thank you very much. That’s very nice of you.
Owner: Oh, it’s for us to thank you, sir and I do, sir, from the bottom of my heart.
Your assessment is very important.
