a) Listen and say the sentences from a dialogue between two friends.

- I’ll have to think about it.
- You’re kidding!

- Actually, I do like the sound of that.
- Oh, come on!
- I bet you’ll really enjoy it when you get there.
- Well, I suppose it might be fun.
b) What do you think the dialogue is about? Listen and read to find out.
- Find sentences in the dialogue which mean:
- Why do you think it’s so extraordinary?
- You’re joking!
- I think that seems good.
- Oh, please!
- I think I’ll like it.
Listen and say, then use the phrases and the prompts to act out exchanges, as in the example. Mind the intonation.

- What’s so special about it?
- What’s it like there?
- Is it worth going there?

1. The first advert is for the London Planetarium, and the second one is for the Science Museum, London.
