The teacher will read through the following dialogue twice -once slowly and once at normal speed. Then the students will practice the dialogue out loud as the teacher moves around the room to help individuals.
| Jerry: | Where is the gin, Jill? |
| Jill: | It was shipped from the shore near the marsh, Jerry. |
| Jerry: | Can you assure me that it was shipped, Jill? |
| Jill: | Yes, I would never shirk my duty. Do you think I am a jerk? |
| Jerry: | No, but last time we shipped sherry and we got gypped by the shipper. |
| Jill: | Yes. I paid cash before it was shipped in those jam bottles by jeep. Then we had to sue the shipper. |
| Jerry: | That's right. And the jury found him guilty and put him in jail, where he shot himself. |
| Jill: | Pshaw! He didn't shoot himself. He slipped on a shag rug after eating Jello! |
| Jerry: | Good-bye, Fred. I must go now. |
| Jill: | Good-bye, Jack. See you next week. |
