ROLE-PLAY “Tourists and Guides”
- Divide yourselves into two halves: Tourists and Guides.
Tourists: Imagine that you know little or nothing about the way social service system is organised in your country. Work in pairs and discuss what you want to find out, take down a number of questions to ask the Guides.
Guides: You have the job of giving information about the way social service system is organised in your country. Work in pairs, prepare the information you are going to give the Tourists about the social service system in your country. - Together make a list of all the necessary aspects that could be discussed (benefits, employment, health care, etc.).
- Form groups of four — Tourists and Guides.
Guides: Start talking about the topic.
Tourists: Put your questions as appropriate during the role-play. - Follow up in the whole class by summarising important details of information the tourists found out about the social service system.
Here is a possible role-play for the task.
Tourists
We know very little about the social service system in your country. Could you tell us:
- what kinds of social benefits people can get?
- who can receive unemployment benefits?
- how the health care system works?
- whether pensioners get any support?
- what help is given to families with children?
- how people can apply for social assistance?
Guides
Of course. In our country the social service system includes several important areas. People can receive benefits if they are unemployed, disabled, retired, or have a low income. The state also supports families with children and people who need special care.
Health care is available to most citizens through public hospitals and clinics. Many medical services are free or partly paid by the state. Pensioners receive monthly pensions, and some of them also get discounts on transport, medicines, and utility bills.
Unemployed people can register at employment centres and get help in finding a job. They may also receive unemployment benefits for a certain period of time. Families with children can get child benefits and other kinds of financial support.
To apply for social assistance, people usually need to contact a local social service office and provide documents proving their situation.
Summary
The tourists found out that the social service system in the country includes benefits for unemployed people, pensioners, families with children, and people with low income or special needs. They also learned that health care is mostly provided through the public system and that people can apply for help through local social service offices.
