2^nd oral assessment: Buying a pet

15% of Total Grade

TASK: In couples, the students are going to pretend they are going to buy a pet for their family. They go to the pets shop and the seller offers them several options (cat, dog, goldfish, rabbit, etc.) Once the pet seller makes an offer, the students must answer if this pet is the right one for their families.

To complete this task successfully you need to:

-         Describe your family member occupations

-         Give information about you and your family (what you can or can’t do)

-         Describe your house (house parts)

-         Know pets vocabulary

-         Relate pets to your family life style

-         Be fluent and spontaneous – confident, independence from visual aids, speak clearly and loud enough, short pauses

And use:

-         Simple present tense, verb to be, family vocabulary

-         Adjectives

-         Pets, house parts, occupations, abilities vocabulary

-         Full sentences to express your ideas.

INSTRUCTIONS: The students will pretend they are going to buy a pet for their family. Therefore, it is a role play situation where two English classmates go together to a pet shop. Once they arrive to the pet shop, they request the help of the seller to buy a pet for their families (each student must choose the most appropriate pet for his/her family). The seller (teacher in charge of the second oral evaluation) will offer different pets until the student find the one fits their family profile. For instance, if the seller offers a rabbit but the students say: “My family is a very active family. My father is a sport trainer, my mother is a housewife and my brother is a university student. We do a lot exercise together. My father can run a lot, my mother can ride the bike, my brother can climb mountains and I can dance. Besides, we live in a small apartment with only three bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and living room” Based on this description, a rabbit would not be the best option for this family. Once the couple of students who go to the pet shop find the pets for their kind of family, the assessment is over. If the students find the pets right away, the teacher can demand why other pets would be the best option for them. Consequently, to do this task, the students must talk about their families concerning the occupations their family members have, what they can or can’t do, and the description of their houses. Each couple of students will have 15 minutes to carry out this activity.
