Act out a dialogue between parent
and a teenager going out.
Mum
: Where are you going, Tim?
Tim
: Out.
Mum
: Out. Where?
Tim
: Just out, Mum.
Mum
: Tim, you are not going
anywhere until you tell me where you
are going and when you will be back!
Tim
: I’m just going over to Matt’s.
Mum
: Oh, and will you be staying
there or going out?
Tim
: It’s none of your business, Mum.
Mum
: Oh, yes it is! Who else will be
there and will you be staying in or
going out?
Tim
: Jack, Tony and Ryan are also
going to be there. Are you happy
now?
Mum
: Thank you, but no. Are you
staying at Matt’s or are you going out?
I need to know where you are on a
Friday night, Tim. You are still just a
teenager.
Tim
: We are going out, okay?
Mum
: And out where?
Tim
: We might be going to a party.
Mum
: A party. You haven’t asked if
you could go to a party. Where is this
party?
Tim
: It’s at Sandra’s house.
Mum
: Oh, a party at a girl’s house?
Tim
: I knew you would say that.
Come on, it’s her birthday and she
asked us to come over.
Mum
: Of course. Hope you have
bought something for her. You could
bring flowers, ha, ha, ha …
Tim
: MUM…
Mum
: Have a nice time. Remember
to be back by ten o’clock.
Tim
: Mmmmm, ok then.
The party
