🗣️ El juego de rol — Roleplay Task

AQA Paper 2 includes a transactional roleplay. You are given a scenario card in English and must respond in Spanish to 5 prompts. Two of these prompts are predictable cues printed on your card; three require you to react in the moment — one of which is a question you must ask the examiner. The roleplay is the most controllable part of the exam: you can prepare 3 of the 5 prompts word-for-word in your 12 minutes of prep time.
