More scenarios with Ece
Welcome to the flat
Beginner (A1)You just moved in. Ece gives you the grand tour of the little flat: the rooms, the moody kettle, the cats, and makes you a welcome tea. Ask what things are called; she loves telling you.
Cheering Ece up
Intermediate (B1)Ece's exam went badly and the drama is Oscar-level, but underneath she is really upset. Listen, comfort her, and rescue the evening; she would do the same for you.
One more stray cat
Beginner (A1)Ece has brought home another shivering street cat "just for one night" and wants you on her side. React to the kitten, say whether it can stay, and ask her about it.
