A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Use the two model conversations and key-phrase lists on the single learner page; the final prompts are open-ended and need no fixed answer key.
- Read the film-night dialogue and identify the eight-o'clock limit and shorter-film compromise.
- Record who presents each section and how rehearsal supports the nervous speaker.
- Create either prompt dialogue with two key phrases and a clear final division or limit.
Support and extension
Offer want/need/can offer notes. Extend by changing one constraint and renegotiating instead of simply copying the model.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
