Question

Speaking : Expressing Opinion, agreeing & disagreeing



conversation

Hannah: In my opinion, the good school is the one that makes a balance between discipline and fun.

Amy: I completely agree with you, Hannah. Too much focus on discipline can make a school like a prison, and excessive focus on fun makes it a park rather than a school. So balance is better.

Paul: I’m sorry to say this, but I totally disagree with you. What is the point of fun in a school? To my mind, the good school is the one where you don’t have to study such useless subjects as foreign languages.

Amy: I don’t agree with you, Paul. I think foreign languages are very important nowadays.

Hannah: You are right Amy. There is no good school that doesn’t teach foreign languages today.
