where is the context?

I think student B might need more insights about his/her perfomance in the role play oral exam. What might happen to him if student A panics or doesn't know what to do, student's B performace will be affected because he/she depends on what student A might say. More contextualization is needed.

Good Alex, Then perhaps the student B could be asked to ask for A's age, address and telephone number.

thanks!!!

Regarding Yoli's answer: GIRL 'READ' IT SAYS 'YOU ARE NEW IN SCHOOL AND IT OIS THE FIRST DAY' AND THEN SOME INSTRUCTIONS.
my friend if it doesn't give a context then I don't know what you read, perhaps it was not my item.

A short contextualization would make the item more effective. Something like: "You are meeting someone and you talk about persinal information", depending on the linguistic level of the students.
