Your school is going to set up its own website. You and your friend have been asked to discuss what to put on the new website. You can choose from the following as well as use your own ideas: pages displaying students' work; photos of school events; a regular letter from the head teacher; a calendar of events happening during the school year. Use the language below to act out your dialogue. You can use the audioscript for Ex. 7 as a model. Make sure you discuss all the options and include your own ideas. Come to a decision about which two options to include. Asking for Opinions: What do you think (about this)? What is your opinion/view? How do you feel (about this)? Have you got any ideas about this? Positive/Negative Opinions: Not bad. That's a (really) good/great idea. It's/That's nothing special. That's an absolutely/a really terrible/awful idea. Expressing Opinions: As I see it, ... In my opinion, ... I think ...
Нужно обсудить все четыре пункта, предложить собственную идею и вместе выбрать два. Вопросы What do you think? и How do you feel about this? помогают передать слово партнёру. Для решения подходят I think и In my opinion. В образце выбраны работы учеников и календарь: они полезны самим школьникам. Перевод ключевых реплик: «Что думаешь о фотографиях мероприятий?»; «Лучше публиковать работы учеников»; «Согласен, добавим ещё календарь».
A: What do you think we should put on the new school website?
B: In my opinion, pages displaying students' work are a great idea. They will encourage everyone to be creative.
A: I agree. How do you feel about photos of school events?
B: Not bad, but we would need permission to publish them. A regular letter from the head teacher could be useful, too.
A: Yes, but a calendar of events would help all students plan their time. We could also add a homework help page.
B: That's a good idea. We can start with students' work and the calendar.
A: Agreed. Those are our two choices.
