HOST STUDENT: Pues Pablo, ¿te gusta ir a la escuela?
EXCHANGE STUDENT: Sí, me gusta mucho. Me gusta dibujar y escribir cuentos. ¿Y tú?
¿Qué te gusta hacer en la escuela?
HOST STUDENT: A mí también me gusta ir a la escuela. Me gusta mucho correr y
practicar deportes, pero no me gusta estudiar mucho. Me gusta
más la hora de almuerzo. ¿Qué te gusta comer en el almuerzo?
EXCHANGE STUDENT: Yo como un sándwich de jamón y queso o una hamburguesa. ¿Y tú?
HOST STUDENT: A mí me encantan las ensaladas. No me gusta nada la carne.
¿Qué te gusta beber?
EXCHANGE STUDENT: Yo bebo los refrescos todos los días. ¿Qué bebes tú?

HOST STUDENT: ¡Hola, Pablo! Soy Rosa.
EXCHANGE STUDENT: ¡Hola, Rosa! ¿Cómo estás?
HOST STUDENT: Bien, gracias.
Here's how to prepare:
Step 2
On a separate sheet of paper, make a list of questions in Spanish that you might ask the exchange student. Find out:
(a) what his or her favorite activities are
(b) where is he/she from, how old is he.
(b) what he or she likes to eat and drink for breakfast (or lunch)
(c) ask questions about the places he or she likes to go to eat during the weekends.
Now, work on completing the conversation. Use filler words that you have learned and the information you have collected. See the model.
Work with your partner to coordinate answers and to come up with a greeting and a farewell for your conversation.
Revise your work.
REMEMBER: Be creative, have fun and use as much vocabulary as possible!
Step 3
You will record or videotape your conversation with your partner. The host student
will go first. Listen to what your partner says and to continue the conversation appropriately.
