3. (During a role play you hear:) "Give me one glass of water, waiter!"
The usage error in this sentence is in vocabulary. The student should have
said "I'd like a glass of water, please" . As the student is engaged in a
role-play (and in order not to interrupt the flow of the activity), the teacher
could take a mental note and deal with the error after the activity is
finished. The teacher asks, then, : "Is it 'give me one glass of water,
waiter!" or ' I'd like a glass of water, please" ?
