You will be given a card which asks you to retell a short story about a particular situation. You should include your ideas while telling it. You will be given 1 minute to prepare your talk and

then 1-2 minutes to speak. Your classmates prepare the questions to ask you on the topic.

Learners take turns in retelling the stories from the cards.
Card 1

Romanian Avalanche

In 2003, a British politics student named Ken Jones

took a holiday from his studies and traveled to

Romania, where he wanted to scale Moldoveanu

Peak. He almost made it to the summit when the earth

shook and a pair of avalanches dumped tons of snow on

top of him, trapping him helpless on the mountain. He

managed to walk ten miles through the freezing cold

over the next three days to a remote Transylvanian

village, where a local doctor saved his leg and his life.

Card 2

Indonesian Tsunami

The massive tsunami that was in Indonesia on the

day after Christmas in 2004 still stands as one of

the most devastating natural disasters in recorded

history. In all of the chaos as waves up to 100 feet

high covered the Indian Ocean coastline, some

interesting stories came to light. One story was

about a small boy named Martunis, who was

washed away while playing soccer in Indonesia

and spent the next 18 days floating in the ocean.

He was finally rescued and taken to a hospital.

Card 3

Frankenstein

Radical scientist Victor Frankenstein and his equally brilliant protegee Igor

Strausman share a noble vision of aiding humanity through their

groundbreaking research into immortality. But Victor's experiments go too far,

and his obsession has horrifying consequences. Only Igor can bring his friend

back from the brink of madness and save him from his monstrous creation.
Card 4

Lion King

A young lion prince is born in Africa, thus making his uncle Scar the

second in line to the throne. Scar plots with the hyenas to kill King

Mufasa and Prince Simba, thus making himself King. The King is

killed and Simba is led to believe by Scar that it was his fault, and so

flees the kingdom in shame. After years of exile he is persuaded to

return home to overthrow the usurper and claim the kingdom as his

own thus completing the "Circle of Life".​
