Task 4: Pair work (WORKBOOK: P77)

A sample dialogue:

Sa: Harry Potter novels are really amazing. Have you read them? Sb: Sorry. Not yet. Who is the hero? Sa: Harry Potter, of course. Sb: Where does the story take place? Sa: It takes place in a school of magic.

Sb: What happens in the story? Sa: Well. I can’t tell you the whole story, because it is very long. As you know, the story is about a young wizard-in-training Harry Potter who has had his hands full during his first four years at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. As if studying spells and pleasing professors isn’t enough, Harry has heard evil voices in the walls, rescued extremely frightened students, defended against the criminals escaped from wizards’

prison, and played carefully planned games of Quidditch. Between school sessions, he summers with the frightening Dursleys, who seem to want nothing more than to crush our hero’s spirit. Only time will tell how Harry will manage the certain dangers in store for him over the next few years. Sb: It sounds very interesting! Sa: Yes. You should read it.

Sb: What kind of ending does the story has, happy or sad? Sa: It has a happy ending. In the first book, Dursleys have been kept from Harry. Sb: Why do you like this story? Sa: It is easy to read. The text flows naturally, even with strange words and unusual names. Sb: How do feel when you read the story? Sa: In the story, Rowlings does not talk down to her audience of young adults. Her characters grow, change, and make decisions based on their own motives. She

takes time to set up the characters, plot, and scenes. Her creativity and descriptions bring life to the story, and you want to know what happens next. Anyway, really amazing story.

Sb: I heard Rowling has published a series of Harry Potter books. What do you think will be the final ending? Sa: I think the story will last. The story will go on like this: When Harry Potter grows up, he becomes a teacher of the wizard school. His students begin to do justice wherever evils exist. At last, he becomes the king of his world, and makes the world full of peace, happiness and harmony.
