Hello there. Please help me to record the dialogues below. Two speakers playing roles in each dialogue would be ideal because my elementary students - 3rd and 4th graders -would be able to recognize the roles and thus easily do the exercises. However, one speaker would be also fine.
Please do not read the roles of the speakers, that is, boy, girl, man, woman, etc. You just need to read the content of the dialogues. As you read each question, please pause about three seconds and then read the content of the dialogue. The aim is to help students have enough time to understand the question and its possible answers.
These dialogues are from more than a dozen Cambridge test books. Please read them at your natural, slow speed. Thank you!
