Solution enclosed on separate Word doc.
Two linked resources. The Word doc contains an account of Beyonces summer holidays. The html file is an interactive gap-fill activity, based on the same text.

Relatively simple playscript for beginners who have done SEIN, a few adjectives of personality, and a few basic phrases.

Once the students have practised the script as it stands, they could improvise changes to the words in bold type.
