Conversation Session Preparation Guide
• Be prepared to continue practicing greetings and partings. Dialogues in section I and II in the Manual add to greeting expressions you have learned. What are those? Be prepared to improvise similar scenarios in your conversation session.
• Be prepared to role play the dialogue in section III. Improvise a similar conversation and add to the lines of conversation.
• Be prepared to greet your classmate as a friend; all the verbs in short forms. Remember that using long form of the verb ‘to be’ in conversation sounds strange to native speakers.
• Be prepared to role play the dialogue in Dictation 4c. What can you change in the dialogue to make it more spoken Persian?
• For Exercise 2 in the Manual you translated a passage. Be prepared to present the passage to your classmates and your conversation partner. When your friends present, have some questions ready to ask them after their presentations.
• Be prepared for the practice of asking random questions. In the conversation session each student should ask his or her classmate next to him/her randomly. It can go 5 or more rounds of asking random questions.
• Ask your classmate to imagine to be a new person. Then ask about that character, where s/he is from, nationality, language s/he speaks, understand, write, and where s/he lives, his/her age, and occupation. Be prepared to ask also about his/her family members.
