1) A woman (50 years old) is given a dice by her teacher to play a board game. She picks it up and stares at the teacher for a few seconds. Then she asks, sounding borderline offended, ‘And what am I supposed to do with it?’ 2) A girl (7 years old) is given a dice by her teacher to play a board game. She picks it up and looks at the teacher, confused. Finally, the rest of her team get annoyed and start repeating ‘Come on, just roll it. Roll it. ROLL IT.’ The girl finally rolls the dice or rather allows it to drop out of her hand. 3) A man (40 years old) is checking a HW reading task. He is very unhappy about the answers because he got them wrong and starts shouting and arguing about little bits and pieces from the text, most of which are irrelevant to the task. 4) A girl (4 years old) falls asleep on the desk, half way through a colouring task. 5) A woman (43 years old) gets very upset in her Cambridge First lesson because her written HW (an article) is not First standard. ‘But I am a journalist! I write articles for a living’ she complains. 6) A boy (7 years old) fails to complete a listening task and bursts into tears. He is inconsolable. 7) A man (51 years old) does not want to speak during an individual lesson, produces very little and repeats in L1, ‘I don’t understand. I don’t understand.’ 8) A teacher sets pairwork for a group of 7-year-olds. T says ‘Now you are going to work in pairs and try to guess your partners’ animals.’ Chaos ensues. 9) A group of adults (different ages) freeze when the teacher announces the date for the first progress test. They try to negotiate (no test or do the test as HW). They are very unhappy and quiet on the test day and anxious about their results. 10) There is a new student in the teens group. He says things that make the other students roll their eyes. When they say things he does not approve of, he comments angrily in L1.
