Student A
Do a mime to represent the expressions in one of the boxes below. Give five points to the person who guesses first, and one more point to anyone who can think of another way of saying exactly the same thing (for example, the other expressions in the same box)
| Excuse me/ Can I get past? | Oh, what a pity/ That’s a shame/ I’m sorry to hear that | That’s right/ That’s correct | Okay/ All right |
| Hurry up/ You’re late | Just a minute/ Just a moment/ Just a second/ Hang on | Time’s up/ Stop talking | Time out/ Let’s take a break |
Do you know any cultural differences in these kinds of gestures in different countries?
