- To ask two students to play the parts of Milly and Rita and to read the conversation to the class. - To ask the students after a very short conversation why someone might want to say " oh..everytime he says something, as if a garbage bin opens". - To point out the phrases underneath the conversation and explain that these are more direct ways of saying the phrases that are numbered in the conversation. - To ask the students to match the phrase with the numbered ones in the conversation. - To re-read some parts of the conversation using the direct phrases to show the students how much more harsh it sounds with these.
