Exercise 4. Read the situation, make up a conversation (or a dialogue). Then

a)‘Let's have a meeting' (Three people work for a Travel Agency called “Happy

Holidays”. They are all managers and the company has several offices in Rome, London

and Paris. They are going to open a new office in Madrid. They have to arrange

a business meeting. This must happen before one of the managers Rachel Sting flies

to Madrid on Thursday afternoon.)

b) A famous film director is going to visit your Film School. Discuss how to organize

the day.

c) Plan an International Evening for a group of students from the British National Film

School. Make suggestions for the evening (to show slides/movies, to give a concert,

to organize a meeting with a famous film-maker etc.). Discuss whose ideas were best.

Exercise 5. Use the text “Let's have fun!” as an example and make up your own dialogue about going to the cinema.

Let's have fun!

Steve: Do you want to go out somewhere tonight?

Alison: Oh, I don't know. What were you thinking of?

Steve: I thought we could go to Ronnie Scott's to see a new jazz band.

Alison: Oh, there's no one I'd like to see at the moment.

Steve: OK, well, why don't we go out and grab a bite to eat? My treat!

Alison: Thanks but I've just eaten.

Steve: Well, how about going to the cinema?

Alison: Yeah OK, I'll have a look and see what's on. So what kind of film do you fancy seeing?

Steve: It's up to you, but nothing too soppy.

Alison: We could go to “The Prince Charles” cinema.

Steve: Yeah, it's quite cheap there. What's on?

Alison: Hang on, oh “Schindler's list”, the Spielberg film with Liam Neeson.

Steve: I saw that years ago. It's a historical drama.

Alison: I'd like to see something that will make me laugh.

Steve: Well. Then let's see the new Hugh Grant film, it's a comedy.

Alison: OK.

(After the film show)

Steve: What do you think of it?

Alison: I think it was really great.

Steve: You must be joking. The acting was awful, it seems to me.

Alison: As far as I'm concerned, the acting was fantastic! And Hugh Grant, he was hilarious.

Steve: The only good thing was my popcorn - very tasty!

Alison: You were so starving, I suppose, that you ate it all yourself.

Steve: Well, you were too busy laughing to eat any.

Alison: I think Hugh Grant is gorgeous. I couldn't help falling in love with him.
