The task: going shopping along a common street. Half the class have shopping lists and the other half own a shop. Every student will get a card with identity information.
学生们将模拟来到一条街上购物。班级里一半的学生饰演拿到购物清单的顾客，而另一半学生则饰演店主。学生们都会得到一张写着有关其身份信息的卡片。
There are five shops:
一共有五家店：
a computer shop
a newsagent's
a fruit shop
a small supermarket
-
a language bookshop
The cards are structured so that some discussion and negotiation is necessary to find most of the things on the learners' shopping lists. In addition, each list also has a short task typical of normal interaction in the street, for example asking the time or directions to a bank. At higher levels learners can be encouraged to elaborate on the conversations and make them more complex.
这些卡片设计了必须进行一些讨论和谈判才能得到购物清单上的大部分物品。此外，每个卡片上还具有典型的在街上交流的小任务，例如询问时间或**的位置。对于更高级别的学生，可以鼓励他们在对话中交流得更详细、更复杂。
If you are practicing language, review useful structures with the class first, e.g. 'I'm looking for a…', 'I wonder if you can help me, I…', 'How much is that?', etc.
可以先带学生复习与购物相关的语言结构。
Hand out the cards to the students making sure there is an equal number of shopping lists and shops.
把卡片分发给学生，并确保“顾客”和“店主”的身份信息卡片数量是相等的。
Give the learners time to read their cards and ask you about any problem language. They also need to think about what they are going to say, and what language they will need. You can group the shoppers together and shop owners together to do this.
给学生一定时间来阅读自己拿到的卡片并对任何问题语言提出疑问。让学生思考在该情境中他们需要说的话。你可以把顾客和店主分成两组，让学生聚在一起讨论。
Point out to the shop owners that they may need to decide how much their products cost before starting.
向“店主”指出，他们可能需要在开始游戏之前决定他们的产品价格。
Set up your classroom to represent a street, with each table being a shop if possible. Ask the learners who own a shop to prepare a card (folded piece of paper) saying what shop they own.
把教室布置成街道的样子——如果可能的话，把每个桌子当成一个商店。并要求“店主”们准备一张卡片（折叠后立在桌上），来标示他们所经营的商店。
Start the role-play. The shoppers need to find everything on their lists and complete their short task also.
开始角饰演后，“顾客”需要找到他们购物清单上的所有物品并完成他们的小任务。
Monitor the activity for interesting language or for problems, which you can feedback afterwards. Try not to intervene too much at this stage.
你可以注意活动中有趣的语言或出现的问题，稍后可以进行反馈。尽量不要在这个阶段干预太多。
Keep the role-play going until enough shoppers have completed their tasks.
直到足够多的购物者完成了他们的任务，角饰演就可以结束了。
Put the class into groups and ask them to explain how the shopping (and selling) went, and what problems they had.
将学生分组并要求他们分析购物（和销售）的进展情况以及他们遇到的问题。
