B: Estate agents roleplay
You are an estate agent who is taking possible customers around the house after you have changed it. Explain what was there before and what is there now, e.g. “Here there was a single light bulb before, but now there is a chandelier”. Answer any questions the customers have, e.g. “Is there a balcony?” or “Are there any deep pile carpets?” and if not, explain why you didn’t chose that thing.
C: Household problems
Write four possible reasons why you wouldn’t buy a house below:
I wouldn’t buy this house because there is a _____________________________
I wouldn’t buy this house because there are _____________________________
I wouldn’t buy this house because there isn’t a _____________________________

D: Estate agents roleplays two
Change groups.
You are someone who is thinking of buying a house. Ask yes/ no questions to try and find out what the problems are, e.g. “Are there any animals in the house?” or “Is there a problem with the roof?”
Tell the class what problems you found out, using the past tense, e.g. “I found out that there weren’t any windows”
