Two students are talking about their favorite drinks, each trying to argue
for his / her own preferred brand and against the other’s choice.
For reference A: Hmmm, I’m thirsty. Shall we go and get a drink? B: Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. I could do with a nice cup of tea. A: Tea! Yuck! Coke for me. B: Coke? Do you really like it? I always think it tastes so artificial ... and
it’s so sweet.
A: B: A: B:
And you like the taste of tea?
Well, at least tea doesn’t rot my teeth.
That depends on how much sugar you put in.
I don’t put sugar in my tea. I drink it ‘cos it’s natural, and it tastes good. Besides, coke’s much more expensive.
A: Some things are worth spending money on. B: Maybe, but coke’s beyond my means. And my theory is that tea’s
healthy, it’s good for you.
A: Well, that depends on what kind of tea you drink. You know some teas
have loads of caffeine in them ... more than coke even.
B: Huh, okay. I can see I’m not going to win this one. And all this talking is
making me thirsty. Let’s go and get that drink. You can have your coke if you want to. I’ll stick to my tea.
Situation 2
Two friends are discussing computer software piracy. For reference A: Hey, I got a great new program for my computer yesterday. It’s a
brilliant game. You should come over and play.
B: Another program? I don’t know how you can afford them all. A: Well you know ... it’s a pirate copy. B: Don’t you feel bad supporting the pirates? A: I can’t afford the real thing! B: But it’s illegal ... A: Illegal to want to save money? It’s as good as the real thing but costs a
quarter of the price.
B: Maybe, but you see the problem is that with pirates the people who
really do all the work end up losing out.
A: Look, I’m just an average consumer. I’ve got to think about what’s good
for me.
B: But in the long run it’s not good for you. This pirate thing is getting out
of control. You see, the more money the manufacturers lose through being pirated, the higher the price of the real thing will become. In the end only an elite few can afford the genuine articles.
A: I see what you mean. But if they made the programs cheaper they could
reduce the illegal copying.
B: But they wouldn’t make any profit! A: In the short term perhaps but in the longer term they probably would.
Honestly, I’d prefer to buy the originals but I just can’t. Now do you want to come and play or not?
