After reading, close
your book and tell your partner a summary of the
dialogue. Then
switch and have your
partner tell his or her summary.
Start like
this: These dialogues are
about people traveling. At the travel agency Nancy...This
may seem silly, since you both already know what the
dialogue is about, but the purpose is to practice using
your English, not to give information or test your
reading skills.
