Speaking, part 3: PROBLEM SOLVING Interlocutor, Dimitra and Giorgos

Interlocutor: Here is a map of a zoo. You are at the entrance to the zoo. Unfortunately, you only have half an hour before the zoo closes and you want to see as many animals as possible. I’d like you to talk together to plan which route you will take from the entrance to the exit. You have about three minutes to do this. Would you like to start? Giorgos : What do you want to see first? Dimitra: Well, if we take this path, we could see the koalas and the seals. They’re quite close together so we could see both of them and then have a drink at the caf é which is next to the seals. Giorgos : Yes, that’s OK. What other animals do you want to see? Dimitra : Err, well I really like the giraffes, so perhaps we could go and see them after we’ve had a drink. See – they’re just along this path here. Oh, and then we could have a look at the zebras. They’re almost next door to the lions so we could have a look at them as well. What would you like to see? Giorgos : I like to see the lions, too. Dimitra : OK. So after the lions we could go along this path. Are you interested in any of these animals? Giorgos : Yes, I like them. Dimitra : OK, well, err, perhaps, we could go and look at the monkeys and the polar bears and after that the butterflies – then we’re quite near the exit. I think that’s probably all we could do in half and hour.
