You are each going to play the part of either a sales assistant or a customer wishing to buy an item of clothing.
In order to replicate a real situation as much as possible you won’t know who will be your partner for this task. You will be asked to prepare possible phrases that could be useful in such a situation and which you can adapt to the circumstances all based on the vocabulary we have covered recently.
Once you have worked out you’re the vocabulary you think you will need, try to practise it and learn it at home for Thursday 31st May. (If there is time I can record it for you.)
On that day we are going to set up a “market” where you are going to go to various traders and ask for items of clothing…AND CHAOS WILL PROBABLY REIGN.
Sales assistants:
Your vocabulary should include but is not limited to:
Greeting customers and asking what they want
Asking about sizes, colours and materials
Giving advice on availability of sizes & colours
Saying whether or not something is in stock
Indicating location of changing rooms
Advising how something looks / fits
Giving price
Trying to sell another item to go with the one to be purchased
Customer:
Your vocabulary should include but is not limited to:
Explaining what you want
Giving details about size, colour, material
Responding to lack of availability
Asking to try something on
Asking how something looks / fits
Saying you dislike a colour or material
Asking price
Accepting/ declining sales assistants suggestions for further purchases
That was the task.
Here's the outcome.
Just by listening to this you get the impression that you actually enjoyed yourselves SPEAKING FRENCH. The overwhelming majority of you got on with the task extremely well. Have a laugh at yourselves but give yourselves a pat on the back. WELL DONE.
