Big Town: Students to assume the personalities of the residents of the city of Big Town and tell about their lives. Identity cards would be handed out in class. The second exercise would be to practice giving directions to get to the different buildings in Big Town city.

Why does your comment structure look so strange with such a big open space?! Maybe you're trying out a new method?!
After reading your comment, I think you are correct that your spoken English would get good exercise tomorrow - and your listening, if you don't mind to listen to your partner's English! And you can help your partner to find her direction when wandering around in Big Town. ;-)
Looks like you understand the rules of the game. So, maybe you should partner with Tiffany tomorrow as she finds the rules a little confusing! But then Lyn and Long Yuan would be unhappy with me! Let's see tomorrow!
It is not so difficult, Tiffany! But as you said, it appears that some of your classmates understand the rules and you may learn from them. If we play it as a game, it may not be as exciting as other games. We'll see tomorrow.
No, the game is far from difficult! You just get a new identity card and describe your new character (and if you win a few more). The more you win, the more you talk; so, it depends on you how much practice you want!
Well, through the game it is hoped that you will practice your language skills of listening and speaking more than learning vocab and culture! There is not much vocab in this exercise, except for maybe the name of your new vocation (profession) if you get an identity card of a worker. Okay, and then you must describe to your partner what your job is (if you're not a student or an alien!). :)
Well, I hope the little direction exercise would help you giving directions more easily in English as that is the aim of that part of the 'game'. It may not be much of a game; main purpose is the practicing of your two language skills which are mostly practiced in our class. :)
Yes, that is another way of doing this game; by deciding the next move through 'rock-paper-scissors! Or introduce our own rule of how to proceed to another level, or identity. We'll see tomorrow.
It's wonderful ! we will play a game next class.I have read the Big Town game rules seriously while it's too long to remember every rule.Thus i have downloaded the text to my mobile phone .From the map, i can see that it is a really vibrant town.What id card i will get in the game? I am a bit look forward to it.
