Communicative Tasks : Task 1 Key for reference: close Daniel: Nice to meet you. Xia Lin: Nice to meet you too. Daniel: It's a nice party, isn't it? Xia Lin: Yes, I notice you found something to drink. May I introduce you to some of my friends? This is Lin Ling and this is Wang Fang. Daniel: Nice to meet you. I'm Dan (then they chat for a while and Daniel's friends arrive). Xia Lin: After the party we thought we'd all go to a movie. Would you like to come along? Daniel: That's great. I like movies. What else do the students do for entertainment here? Xia Lin: Some of us like disco and karaoke. Do you like them? Daniel: Disco is fine, but I'm not much of a singer. Maybe you and your friends could help me learn some Chinese songs if you're not too busy on the weekend. Xia Lin: We could probably give it a try. How much Chinese do you know? Daniel: Only "Ni hao" and "Bu dong"… (then they laugh and keep talking...)
