Use the space below to brainstorm phrases, expressions, and individual words you could use in a conversation at this level. Also include some questions you might ask your conversation partner. Here are the guidelines for the practice interpersonal assessment to give some ideas about what you could include. With a partner, have a conversation in which you do the following: • learn each other’s names • ask and answer how you are feeling • learn where you are from • learn where you live now • learn what you study and how you feel about your classes • exchange some information about your life as a college student • talk about some things that you like and dislike • say good-bye __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 58.
