Role-play
Imagine you are a reporter for a newspaper in one of the European capitals. There is a lot of controversy about whaling and the opposing parties won’t sit at the negotiating table. Your editor sends you to one of those remote islands to talk to local people and find out first-hand what they think and how much they are ready to compromise if once such talks open up. Now in a conversation with a local resident you probe different proposals and scenarios (use ideas from “Talking and Writing”) and try to understand who obstructs the solution. Act the conversation out and later report to the class if there is room for the long-awaited negotiations.
Imagine there is a group of enthusiasts who are preparing a hiking trip to Arctic wilderness. They have certain survival skills and supplies, but you think that extreme north is specific and you try to talk them out of it. You speak to a team member to find out if they are serious and are aware of the circumstances. Use the tips on the next page.
