READING ALOUD
Let’s read the dialogue. I will be Mr. Evans and you will be Ms. Watson. After reading it once, we’ll switch roles.
READ
Mr. Evans comes in and sees Ms. Watson who looks a bit sad.
 Good morning, Ms. Watson. Is there something wrong? I think you should try to talk about it. |
|
Good morning, Mr. Evans. Nothing much. I’m just thinking about resigning next month.  |
Why? If I were you, I would not do that. You are one of the best employees in the company. What seems to be the problem, Ms. Watson? |
|
It’s about Mr. Newton. I don’t know how I can improve his performance. It is getting poor everyday. |
I understand, but you need to think positively. It might be a good idea to let Mr. Newton observe everyone’s jobs in the office. Don’t worry. Everything will be fine. |
|
I think that’s a good idea. I think I will also let him do easy tasks for now. I really hope his performance will improve very soon. Thanks, Mr. Evans. |
