Material 4: Dialog (Lesetext)

Die Schülerinnen und Schüler lesen den ersten Dialog auf der linken Seite (Level 1) in Partnerarbeit. Anschließend wird das Blatt gefaltet und Level 2 auf der rechten Seite gelesen, wobei während des Lesens die Verbformen eingesetzt werden müssen. Der erste Dialog (Level 1) dient zur Unterstützung bzw. zur Eigenkontrolle.

Abb. 3: Dialog als Leseübung (Text E. Frey)

Level 1: Read the text 2-3 times with your partner so you can read it fluently. Swap roles.

Lilly: Can you imagine what would happen if we didn’t have our phones? I would go crazy!

Jake: I don’t know… Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad. If I didn’t use my phone all the time, I would feel more relaxed.

Lilly: I wouldn’t be relaxed. If I forgot my phone at home, I would panic the whole day!

Jake: But think about it! If we had no phones, we would talk to people more.

Lilly: No way! If I couldn’t text my friends, I would feel completely disconnected.

Jake: But if we spent less time on our phones, we would do more fun things outside.

Lilly: Did you say fun? If I went out without my phone, I would be so bored!

Jake: Not really! If you didn’t stare at your screen all the time, you would enjoy the world around you.

Lilly: I don’t think so. If I couldn’t check all my online accounts, I wouldn’t survive.

Jake: You totally would! If you tried a "no phone" challenge for one day, you might actually like it.

Lilly: No way! If someone took my phone away, I would freak out.

Jake: Wow, you’re really addicted! Maybe you should try using it less.

Lilly: Never! If I had to live without my phone, I would feel totally lost.

Jake: Okay, okay... But if you ever change your mind, let me know. I sometimes enjoy having some freedom.

Lilly: You’re crazy. Now, excuse me - I need to check my notifications!

Level 2: Read again filling in the verb forms. Swap roles. Look at the text on the back if you need help or to check.
