Student: Well, that might be a problem. (5.1) Apart from that, it would be rather expensive. (2) Interlocutor: Well, I don’t think so. We could invite a lot of our friends, split the bill and each person wouldn’t have to pay much. Student: So, shall we go for this option? (6.1, 4.3) Interlocutor: Well, we might but what about the other two options? Student: OK. Let’s look at them as well. (4.2) Which one appeals to you more? (6.1, 6.2) Interlocutor: I like the idea of arranging the party in the school canteen. Student: The school canteen? Why? (5.2) I don’t think a place we go to every day could contribute to creating any special atmosphere. Besides, we would have to do the cleaning and cooking. (2) Interlocutor: Well, as far as I’m concerned I like cooking. I could try and make a traditional English pudding. Student: Oh, that would be great! But still I can’t say I fancy the idea. (5.1) Interlocutor: Well, it’s a pity! We could decorate the place the way we like, for example, with balloons and farewell posters. We could have a good time chatting, dancing and taking pictures in a very friendly atmosphere. Student: I see this is definitely your first choice. (5.3) But why don’t we try the countryside? (4.2) I think it would be a nice idea. Cooking meals over the fire is great fun. And then we wouldn’t disturb anyone shouting and playing loud music. (2) Interlocutor: You might be right. It’s so peaceful there. However, we would have to carry heavy picnic baskets. I don’t think our friends would like that. Student: I don’t think it would be a big problem. We could rent a car or ask our parents to drive us to the place. (2) 80
