- Role-play: Imagine you are sitting with your friend at a coffee shop. You start telling your friend about your cousin who studies at a university in another country. You describe what your cousin is studying, in which year she is, and how she studies (for example, on campus or عن بُعد). Then you talk about her friends at the university — where they are from and what they study. Finally, tell your friend what languages the professors speak at that university.
