Teacher: Okay, let's start with Student A for situation 1. You are the exchange student coming to the UK for 4 weeks. Your flight was delayed, and you need to rest before dinner. You also want to ask if you can do laundry in the house. Begin the role-play.

Student A: Hi, I'm the exchange student. I just arrived at the host family's place. My flight was delayed by a few hours, and I'm quite tired. Is it possible for me to sleep for a bit before dinner?

Teacher: That's fine. You can rest in your room. Dinner will be ready when you wake up. Is there anything else you need?

Student A: Thank you. Actually, I was wondering if I could do my laundry in the house. I have some clothes that need washing.

Teacher: Yes, we have laundry facilities in the house. Feel free to use them whenever you need to do your laundry.

Student A: That's great. Thank you so much!

Student B: Hi, welcome to the UK! How was your flight? Did everything go well?

Student A: Thank you! The flight was delayed, unfortunately. I had to wait for a few hours at the airport.

Student B: Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Well, I understand that you must be tired after the journey. If you'd like, you can rest in your room before dinner.

Student A: That would be wonderful. Thank you for understanding.

Student B: By the way, I should let you know that our laundry machine is quite old and can be a bit tricky to use. If you want, I can do your laundry for you to save you the trouble.

Student A: Oh, that's really kind of you! If it's not too much trouble, I would appreciate that.

Student B: No problem at all. Just let me know when you have some clothes ready, and I'll take care of it.

Student A: Thank you so much! I really appreciate your hospitality.

Student A: Hi, I hope you're doing well. I wanted to ask if it's alright to have some friends over next weekend for my birthday celebration. I understand if you have any restrictions or concerns.

Teacher: I'm sorry, but this weekend we won't be able to have visitors inside the house. However, you can certainly have your celebration in the garden if you'd like.

Student A: That's understandable. Thank you for letting me know. In that case, I would like to ask if I can put up some posters and decorations on the walls. I have some study materials and birthday decorations I'd like to display.

Teacher: Of course, you can put up posters and decorations on the walls. I have some white-tack in my drawer that you can use. It doesn't leave any marks, so it's perfect for that purpose.
