Gesprek oefenen

Je bent als uitwisselingsstudent in Glasgow en je weet de weg naar het lokaal niet. Je vraagt de weg aan een medestudent. Jullie blijken hetzelfde vak te volgen en raken aan de praat. Vraag elkaar wat je op de opleiding doet, waar je woont en met wie, wat je in je vrije tijd doet en wat je hobby's zijn. Aan het einde maak je een afspraak buiten school om verder te kletsen.
