A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Use both pages. Read the two model conversations before distributing the paired role cards; partners should see only their own instructions.
- Compare cable-only and cable-and-plug packs; notice that connector, contents and requirements need checking.
- Role-play the charger within an 18-pound budget, cracked lunch box and fruit left behind, using the receipt as evidence.
- Confirm compatibility checks, replacement price difference or the recovered item before ending.
Support and extension
Allow keyword notes and the phrase bank, not a full script. Swap roles and change one constraint for a second round. Judge clarity and the agreed next step, not one prescribed dialogue; the service conditions are fictional.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
