๐ต 4. Tea with the Queen Roleplay
Imagine youโre invited to tea with Her Majesty!
Practice lines: โYour Majesty, would you care for another cup of tea?โ โThis Earl Grey is delightful, isnโt it?โPerfect for mastering polite British phrases and the all-important RP intonation.Hereโs an imaginary conversationโฆโฆ.
๐ฐ The Royal Tea Party Begins๐ The Queen/King:
"Ah, welcome! Do take a seat. I trust you had a pleasant journey?"
๐ซ You:
"Your Majesty, it is an absolute honour to be here. Yes, thank you, the journey was most agreeable."
๐ The Queen/King:
"Splendid. Now, do tell me, do you take milk in your tea?"
๐ซ You: (carefully enunciating your vowels)
"Yes, please, just a splash. And perhaps a slice of lemon, if I may be so bold?"
โ The Butler: (arriving with a silver tray)
"Here you are, madam/sir. A perfectly brewed Earl Grey, accompanied by a selection of finger sandwiches and scones."
๐ซ You:
"How delightful! I must say, these scones look rather exquisite. Do you prefer yours with cream first or jam first, Your Majesty?"
๐ The Queen/King: (raising an eyebrow)
"Ah, the age-old debate! I must say, I am firmly in the jam-first camp. It is, after all, the Cornish way."
๐ซ You: (chuckling lightly)
"Quite right. I shall follow suit, though I fear I may offend any Devonshire guests in the room!"
๐ The Queen/King: (sipping tea, nodding approvingly at your impeccable pronunciation)
"Tell me, how do you find life in Britain? Are you enjoying our peculiar little customs?"
๐ซ You:
"Absolutely! I particularly enjoy the British love for a good queue. Iโve never seen such orderliness anywhere else in the world."
๐ The Queen/King: (smiling)
"Ah, yes. We do love a queue. A most civilised tradition."
โ The Butler: (interrupting gently)
"Would you care for a second cup, Your Majesty?"
๐ The Queen/King:
"Why not? One can never have too much tea."
๐ซ You: (politely raising your cup)
"Indeed. To tea and tradition!"

Your Shadowing Exercise:
It was a hot afternoon, and Arthur decided a walk across the grass would do him good. He caught the Tube to the station near Hyde Park, where he found a cafรฉ serving tea with buttered crumpets. โWhat a stupid decision to wear this coat,โ he sighed, feeling the warmth of the sun. A car rolled past as he pondered whether a bath in the Serpentine would be entirely improper. โAh well,โ he muttered, embracing the moment like a true gentleman.
