ROLE-PLAY- SHOPPING

Role-play is an essential part of language learning, as we learnt in a previous post (HERE). Students need to put themselves into simulated contexts to make sure that they know how to respond in typical situations, especially when at a basic or elementary level.

It may seem obvious, but for a role-play you need a minuimum of two people. They can also however be carried out in groups of 3,4 or 5 people. Before starting, you should all choose roles, such as SHOP ASSISTANT and CUSTOMER.

 

(SHOP ASSISTANT)

Can I help you?

Are you looking for anything in particular?

What can I do for you?

What will it be?

Do you need any help with anything?

How can I help you?

 

(CUSTOMER)

I want to buy ___

I need ____

I would like ___

I am looking for ___

I am after ___

Can I buy ___?

Do you have ___?

Is/Are there ___?

Where is/are the ___?

I was wondering if you have ___

Could you tell me where the ____ is/are?

 

(SHOP ASSISTANT)

Of course

Sure

Not problem

Let me see

Let me have a look

I will check for you

Maybe, I will look

I´m not sure, I´ll go and see

 

(CUSTOMER)

Can I return this/these?

I need to bring this back

Key words:

Fit = be the correct size

Pay = give money for

Return = take back to the shop

Cost = the value of them

 

Role-play:

S = shop assistant

C = customer

C: They are really nice, how much are they?

S: They cost $49

C: That´s not too expensive. I think I will take them. Do they suit me?
