TASK 3 – CULTURE AND ART
Student A:
You are very keen on music and literature as well. Therefore you have decided to go to a multicultural
festival lasting a couple of days. However, your parents wouldn’t let you go alone. Try to persuade your
best friend to join you, providing all the information about the program of the festival, the headliners,
mention even the book stage that would lure your friend for sure.
Student B:
Your best friend wants to go to a multicultural festival lasting a couple of days this summer. He/she
wants you to join him/her. However, since the tickets are a bit expensive,you can imagine a better
way of spending your pocket money, for example buying new books sounds definitely better to you.
Moreover, you are not very into pop music. If you really have to go, there must be something “very
special” that changes your mind. Find out as much information about the festival as possible and
then decide if you accept or decline your best friend´s proposal.
