I’m reading the articles at esl.about.com for the last 2 months, As I’m an Indian and very new to Canada. I find everything at about.com related to study englsih at advance level. I only want the American way of english speaking. so I want u to display some American slangs so i could learn some slangs used in daily life

These are wonderful examples of short dialogues. I use them with the 2 students doing the dialogue and the others listening and answering the questions. The “actors” have to put down the dialogues and tell the students if their answers are correct or not (comprehension). The students really like doing these dialogues.
Thank you.

Superb! I use these dialogues effectively. It has helped non English students to recognise words and their meanings and speak better.
