## Dialogue Script (2 speakers)

Hannah: Ravi, can I bring something up? It's about yesterday's meeting. Ravi: Sure. Is something wrong? Hannah: When you presented the budget plan, you didn't mention that I did most of the analysis. Ravi: Oh. <short pause> You're right. I didn't mean to take credit for it. Hannah: I believe you, but it felt pretty frustrating. Ravi: I completely understand. I was nervous and I rushed through the slides. Hannah: Could you mention it to the director? Ravi: Of course. I'll send an email today saying the analysis was yours. Hannah: Thanks. Going forward, could we agree who presents what before meetings? Ravi: Definitely. Then we're on the same page from the start.

## How to Use It in Class

- **Before listening:** pre-teach the key vocabulary and ask students to predict what happens.
- **First listen:** students answer the comprehension questions without the script.
- **Second listen:** give out the script and have students underline useful phrases.
- **Speaking:** pairs role-play the dialogue, then change one detail and improvise.
