II. Social skills in meeting people, listening and conversation are very impor
tant for a teacher.
1. Act as a teacher in the situations given below. Make dialogues based on the following:
1. Father — to Teacher
The conflict is my relationship with my son. On the one hand, I want to be a good father and give him the advice he is asking for. He is in the tenth form, not sure where he wants to go, what he wants to do. But on the other hand, he reacts like crazy to me. I know that he needs to make his own choices about where he goes and what he does ' and so I am kind of torn between saying, "This is what I think you ought to do," and saying, "Stay with the moment and focus on each day and your studies and the next day will take care of itself."

2. Pupil — to Form Tutor
I' d like to tell you something in confidence. Do you know why our boys missed the chemistry class? It's because we hate the chemistry teacher.
3. Headmistress — to Teacher
Frankly speaking, your manner of dressing and your hair style seem a little bit bizarre for a school teacher. Don't you think that a teacher has some special obligations to his pupils in setting a certain example?
