•2-3 people / group;
•Skit length: 5-7 minutes (5 min for 2 ppl, 7 for 3);
•Graded on Vocab, Grammar, Content, Pronunciation, Fluency
Some ideas (props, scenarios, themes)
•Ordering food at a restaurant. You don't like MSG, you don't like spicy food, you don't eat meat ... but the waiter messes up with everything! And he makes you wait until you're starving! Shall we tip him?
•Going to a party but getting lost: you ask and ask but all these passersby (can be played by the same person with disguises) give you contradictory directions! Can you ever find the place?
•Meeting your girlfriend's/boyfriend's Chinese parents for the first time: what gifts do you bring? What should avoid? What happens if you say/give the wrong thing?
Use the projector and slides, music, makeup, and more to make it fun!

Write in English: Do you have any experience with TCM? Have you heard about acupuncture before? I tried acupuncture and it worked for my knees! 可是疼死了! It was too stressful and I couldn't bring myself to continue the treatment...
