Read the first part of the next dialogue …

Rebecca: Hey mom. Can I talk to you for a minute?

Susan: Sure honey, what do you need?
Rebecca: Well, you see, some of my friends are going to the cinema tonight and I
want to go too. The problem is that the movie goes until midnight. I was wondering
if I could stay out late tonight to be with my friends. All my friends’ parents are
letting them go.
Susan: Rebecca, you know that your permission is 10 pm. On weekends and I am
not your friends’ parents.
Rebecca: I know, I know, but I can’t go just this once? It’s not fair if all my friends
can go, but I can’t.
Susan: Have you even finished all your chores yet? I saw that your room hasn’t
been cleaned since yesterday.
Rebecca: Well, I’ve done most of them.
Susan: Most of them? Like what? Have you done the laundry?

Now, complete and finish the conversation with a partner taking into account these
roles:
Parent:
The parent thinks his teenage son/daughter wants to stay out late because there is
a party, not a film at the cinema. The parent always tells his son/daughter that must
finish all the homework and all the chores before going out.
Teenager:
You want to stay out late with your friends tonight because there is a party but you
can’t tell your parents that because they are very strict. That’s why you tell them
you want to go to the cinema. Try to convince your parents by explaining the
situation.
