Exchange Students Role-Play Dialogue

This speaking activity requires four students to introduce themselves, express their feelings and first impressions about their new school, and state which extracurricular clubs or activities they wish to join.

:performing_arts: Model Role-Play Script (Group of Four)

  • Alex (from the USA):
    “Hi everyone! My name is Alex, and I’m an exchange student from the USA. To be honest, I was a bit nervous this morning because everything is so new, but everyone has been very welcoming. I’m really looking forward to joining the tennis club and the swimming team this semester. What about you, Bahar?”

  • Bahar (from Türkiye):
    “Hello Alex! I’m Bahar from Türkiye. At first, I felt a little overwhelmed by the size of the campus, but now I feel excited and ready to learn. I have a passion for arts and reading, so I definitely want to sign up for the sculpture club and the literature club.”

  • Ji-hoon (from South Korea):
    “Nice to meet you both! I’m Ji-hoon, and I came from South Korea. My first impression is that the atmosphere here is vibrant and friendly. I was slightly anxious about the language barrier, but I feel much more confident now. I’m planning to join the coding club and the photography club to improve my tech skills and capture campus memories.”

  • Elena (from Spain / Fourth Student):
    “Hey guys! I’m Elena from Spain. I felt curious and enthusiastic from the moment I arrived. The school facilities look amazing! I really want to join the drama club and play badminton after classes. I’m so glad we are all in the same group!”
