(Yule, George (1998) Explaining English Grammar, Oxford, pp. 76-77) (Longman, 1984).

1. Taxi Trip

1.1 Taking a taxi trip in a foreign country can be quite an experience. This role play is focussed around the small talk that is encountered when getting into a taxi.
There are 3 example role plays.
Then students are required to create their own situations. These situations are then put into a box and one is chosen randomly for each group to perform in front of the class.
