some advantages.In my opinion, playing roles is one of the most useful and interesting ways to improve speaking skill because it contains some advantages. Firstly, playing roles makes the atmosphere of class become less strained. Therefore, students are in a good mood to grab knowledge. Role-plays also make the lessons more vivid. As a result, this heps them memorize lessons longer. Secondly, playing role is a group activity, which teaches students how to work in a team effectively. In addition, it offers them a chance to promote their relationship and express solidarity, which improves their friendship as they have an opotunity to understand each other. Thirdly, when given an imaginary situation, students are encouraged to develop both the imagination and the creation. The reason is that they have to create the situations which contains good functions for each context. Through these situations students turn functions into practical and vivid knowledge. This makes each lesson more interesting.

Several difficulties in playing roles
As you know, not most of sutdents have a natural aptitude to become a good actor or actress. Indeed, roleplay is quite a challenging task because students are bound to be playwrights, directors and actors. It means that they not only create scripts but also play them. Writing a script is not easy for these amateur scriptwritters as a good situation is certainly interesting. But it aslo has to content suitable functions for different situations. For example, you cannot say" HI'' WHEN you meet your teachers or oder people. So, students need to consider carefully when choosing words for their scripts. Writing a situation also requires you to have a lot of vocabulary to turn your thought into words. When having a script, the next thing students have to do is to practice it regulariy. It often includes learning script, playing with each other, and this takes them a lot of time to become smooth.

Another difficult thing in playing role is to balance between playing role and speaking. MANY students who try to be involved themselves in their situation often forget to take notice of their pronunciation. This makes listeners have difficuties in understanding their story, so the story is less interesting or it cannot draw other students' attraction.

I think that your group has done a great job of analyzing many aspects of playing roles :D
So this matter is really the matter for all of us, right? :"> Frankly speaking, playing roles is interesting but sometimes thinking of it makes me feel very tired of. Cuz we need to prepare for the scenario which is guaranteed to contain enough various functions for a group of 4 students but still be interesting [oh man, difficult job], we need to prepare time which is convenient for all members to practice with each other [difficult tooo], and we need to act somehow to attract others [greatly difficult] :( hu hu hu
And sometimes, playing roles many times makes me get rid of inspiration 8-| haiz
In my opinion, I agree with you that role play is an effective way in practising Speaking Skills. I share the point of view with ms BEE that the preparation for a scenario takes us a lot of time and effort, especially the phase of creating ideas for how each person will act and speak [ít's a terrible task T__T]. But generally speaking, I still like role play _ Mr Violence.

Hey, you're right. Roleplay is difficult for us, especially about the functions we have to put into the scenario. And it requires a lot of energy to act out the play and at the same time still remember the dialogue and most of all, pay attention to our pronunciation. Missing one of these things, the marks are probably gone. And the more we want to get good marks, the more nervous we become. And what's next? If we're nervous, it's easily to ruin everything. And then, what you expect may not come at all, I mean the result may be sort of disappointed. So, still the old saying, do your best. Me too.
Thanks afterall.
