Hello guys! please I need your help. Do you have any dialogue containing expressions of surprise and interest? I googled it but didn �t find anything interesting. It only gave me articles. Please if you have a link or something, please do help? Thanks in advance. Imane

You could always write your own dialogue and add some personal touches like using the student �s names or situations they might be in. Like a surprise birthday party, bumping into a classmate on holiday (surprise), talking about things they like and leaving it blank for them to put in things they like.
example
A) Hey John how are you?
B) Ok. What are you doing today?
A) Going to play ________.
B) Really.
A) Yeah, I really like it and it is fun too.
B) Wow can I join you? |

Expressing surprise isn �t only to show we �re happy for something we like, it �s also for things we feel sad for, maybe shocked, and so on!! and I agree, you could write your own dialogues yourself, just imagine some situations, and bring visuals to illustrate those situations, pupils learn more through visuals !!! This is a telephone conversation, hope it �ll help:
*Hi Chris! *Hi Imene, how are you? *Fine, thanks. Guess what. *What? *My parents said I could go to london. *Great! Wonderful! When are you coming? *I �ll let you know when I book my flight. *How exciting! Say hello to your family. *You too. Bye. *Bye.
-> How+adjective! What a surprise! |

You can use the famous TV series "Friends", it contains plenty of these expressions, I �ve used them and it really worked.
