🎯 Today’s Discussion: Real-Life English at the Repairs Shop! 🗣️✨
Tonight, we’ll practice useful English for real-life situations — from explaining car, phone, or computer problems, to buying parts, tools, and asking technical questions. 🌍
💡 Here’s the plan:
🔹 Breakout Room 1 (Car Problems — Engine or Battery)
Customer: Hi, my car won’t start today. The dashboard lights came on yesterday, and I heard a clicking sound when I tried to start it.
Mechanic: Let’s take a look. Did you notice any unusual noises or smells before this happened?
Customer: Yes, there was a faint burning smell, and the engine was slower than usual.
Mechanic: Alright, I’ll check the battery, starter, and alternator. It might need a replacement or just a recharge.
Customer: How long will it take?
Mechanic: About 45 minutes. If we need any parts, I’ll call you first.
Customer: Can I wait here while you check it?
Mechanic: Sure, there’s a waiting area. We’ll also give you an estimate before starting any repair.
Customer: Great. What’s the usual cost for a battery replacement?
Mechanic: It depends on the car model, but roughly 50–70 dinars.
Interactive Questions for Students:
- How would you explain a car problem in English?
- What phrases can you use to ask about cost and time?
- How do you describe unusual noises or smells?
🔹 Breakout Room 2 (Phone or Tablet — Screen & Touch Issues)
Customer: Hello, my tablet screen is cracked, and sometimes it doesn’t respond to touch.
Technician: Did it drop or get wet recently?
Customer: It slipped from my bag yesterday. This morning it started freezing and lagging.
Technician: We can replace the screen and test the touchscreen. It will take about an hour.
Customer: Will my data or apps be affected?
Technician: No, your data will stay safe. We’ll back it up just in case.
Customer: How much will the repair cost?
Technician: The screen replacement is 50 dinars. Backup is free.
Customer: Can you also check why it overheats sometimes?
Technician: Sure, we can run a diagnostic to see if it’s a battery or software issue.
Interactive Questions for Students:
- How do you ask about protecting your data?
- How to explain device problems clearly?

🔹 Breakout Room 3 (Computer or Laptop — Slow Performance & Errors)
Customer: Hi, my laptop is very slow, and sometimes it shows error messages.
Technician: How long has this been happening?
Customer: About two weeks. It also shuts down unexpectedly.
Technician: Sounds like it could be a virus, outdated software, or a hardware problem. We can run a full system check and cleanup.
Customer: How long will it take?
Technician: Usually 2–3 hours. If we need hardware replacement, we’ll call you first.
Customer: Will I lose any files?
Technician: No, we’ll backup everything first.
Customer: Thank you. Can you also optimize my software to make it faster?
Technician: Sure, we can uninstall unnecessary programs and check startup items.
Interactive Questions for Students:
- How do you explain technical problems in English?
- What phrases can you use to ask about file safety?
- How do you ask for performance improvement or optimization?
🔹 Breakout Room 4 (Buying Parts or Tools at a Store)
Customer: Hi, I need a new fan motor for my air conditioner and a screwdriver set.
Store Clerk: Sure. Do you know the model of your air conditioner?
Customer: Yes, it’s a CoolAir 3500.
Store Clerk: We have the compatible motor. Do you want a small screwdriver set or a full set?
Customer: Full set, please. How much will it cost altogether?
Store Clerk: 45 dinars for the motor and 25 for the screwdriver set.
Customer: Can you also show me how to install the motor?
Store Clerk: Of course, I’ll give you a quick demonstration.
Interactive Questions for Students:
- How do you ask for the correct part or tool?
