Get out a sheet of paper and copy the following words and phrases.
At the bottom of your sheet of paper, write a 50 word dialog using these words and phrases as well as the others we have already learned. You may work with a partner! You  have to use words and phrases we've already learned or the dialog will be, uh, pretty limited (limité)

Bonjour! Et bienvenue à la classe aujourd'hui. Nous commençon le six semaines numéro deux, et je suis très enthousiastes. Le vidéo de la nourriture est très amusante, et tout le monde fait ça.
Allons-y!
