Maybe I've been teaching English too long (I have, thank you), but apparently role-play cards are what pass for humour in my life these days. These ones (for a class on telephoning) made me laugh.
A. Your friend just borrowed your car to go get some more beer.
Call him (on his cell phone) to remind him to get some chips and salsa.
B. You borrowed your friend's car to get more beer. You have just driven
into a lamppost. Your cell phone rings.
A. You are away on vacation in San Francisco. You have a lot of beautiful
plants. Call your son/daughter to find out how your plants are doing.
B. You promised your mother that you would water her plants while she was
away on vacation. You forgot. The plants are dead. Your phone rings.
I think I'm going to start talking in ominously short sentences and ending every conversation with "your phone rings".
P.S. Credit where credit is due: the cards are from www.eslpartyland.com.
