Imagine that a great international youth event (say a festival) is organized in Belarus, and youth groups from many countries of the world are invited to take part in it. Each group should think of a short “self-performance”, reflecting the culture of the country they are from, the leisure, music and clothing preferences of its youth, and the greetings to the hosts of the event (for the Belarusians – to the guests of the event). Decide on a part you are going to play (name, age, gender, nationality, occupation, character, interests) and be ready to get involved into a spontaneous conversation in some unexpected turns of events.
