a You are going to look more closely at the techniques Chinua Okeke used in his
counselling session with Fergus ODonnell (see page 45 of the Students Book).
In pairs, look at these lines (an) from the dialogue in Audio 5.7 and answer the
following questions.
1 Which speaker, Chinua or Fergus, said the lines below? How do you know?
2 What do you notice about the language in these lines? (Think about grammar and
vocabulary.)
a And how do you think she would feel about that?
b And you came with family?
c And, of course, you dont have to say, but how does she feel about the prospect of
moving back to Dubai?
d By going back to Dubai?
e Did she tell you that?
f Do you?
g Maybe its not so simple. You might consider your options.
h Relieved? I see, and whys that?
i She doesnt mind?
j So is it just about work or are there any other factors involved?
k So you thought the return to Dubai would cheer her up?
l So your plan is to get the job in Dubai and then surprise her with the good news?
m What do you think would be best?
n Why do you say you think she would be?
b Look at the script of the counselling session in Audio 5.7 on the next page. Use
the missing lines in Exercise a to complete the dialogue. Then listen and check
your answers.

Teachers Notes
page 45 of the Students Book, you may find it more useful as a recycling and
revision task in a lesson later on in the course.
b Students match the lines to the gaps in the dialogue. Ask them to write in only
the letters (i.e. they should not write in the missing words).

c Ask students to work in pairs to role play the dialogue. The first time students
role play, allow them to use the lines from Exercise a. After each student has
taken a turn in the counsellor role, ask students to repeat the task, using the
same questioning and prompting techniques, but with their own words.
