Read the illustrative examples and the dialogue in parts, noting how people can be reproached or reprimanded in various situations and how they react. Then learn the dialogue and reproduce it with another student in class. Exercise 2. Express mild reproach using one item from each column and let another student react appropriately.
Exercise 3. How would you reproach or reprimand somebody in the following situations: —I - Your wife has invited to tea a neighbour whom you dislike (you think it was not a very good idea to do so without consulting you). A friend who has promised to give you a new book refuses now. A group of teenagers are teasing a cat. You are in your room in a hotel. Suddenly the door is opened and a man bursts into the room without knocking. You’re very ang-ry- You are a doctor. A mother has called you to examine her sick child, waking you up in the middle of the night. After examining the child you find there’s nothing particularly wrong with him: just a common cold, and his temperature is only 37.3 °C. You are annoyed, you think she shouldn’t have bothered you. A colleague telephones you in the evening to discuss a problem which in your opinion can wait till tomorrow. Besides, you do not approve of discussing business after work, but you don’t want to be rude to a person you work with. You are on your teaching practice. Entering the classroom, you find the whole class running around and shouting like mad. A small boy (Jack) is crying. You want to make him stop it. You are a teacher. A student says he hasn’t done his homework because he didn’t know what had been set. You think it is no excuse, as he could have asked another student in his group. A friend comes half an hour late (you are going to a party together). He says he is sorry and that it’s not his fault really, as his bus got into a traffic jam. You don’t accept his apology as he could either have left home earlier or taken the tube. Exercise 4. Choose a situation from those suggested in Exercise 3 for a dialogue with another student.
