PC TECH’s Script Writers April 24, 2013
Composing a role-play script can be an effective method of practicing informal writing and conversation.
Here are a couple of examples from our “mini-Broadway”:
From Kaori, an experience on a packed train:
K: Oh, this is rush hour.
J: Yes, make sure you hold on to the pole.
K: I know, but look at the pole. The woman is leaning on the pole with her whole body. There is no space for my hand.
J: Excuse me.
W: …(listening to loud music)
J: Excuse me!!
W: What?
K: May I hold [on to] the pole?
W: No! I paid for my ticket [MetroCard]. I can do whatever I want!
J: But Miss, she bought a ticket too. She is going to fall down.
W: Good point. I will move over.
K: Thank you; could you also turn your music down? I can hear your headphones.
W: Sorry, I can’t hear you anymore!
From Lisa:
N: Hi Lisa! How was your day?
L: Not good. I feel nervous and angry.
N: Why? What happened?
L: I quarreled with a rude woman today at my doctor’s waiting room.
N: Why?
L: She entered the doctor’s studio before me. But I was first.
N: Didn’t you have an appointment?
L: No, my doctor doesn’t take any appointments. You can go to his office when you want.
N: Perhaps she didn’t know that you [had] arrived [previously].
L: No, absolutely! When she arrived, I said that I was the last one in the line. But when the doctor called [for] the next one, she entered his studio before me and she stayed inside for one hour! I’m so angry!
