Q19-22
W:Good evening, Mr. Smith. It's nice to meet you and your boy in such nice and cozy weather. Is John going to school this year?
M: Yes, we are thinking of sending him to a private boarding school instead of the local state school.
W: Really? I wouldn't dream of sending my little boy away to some strange institution for months on end every year. It will break my heart every time.
M: I don't think so. I would say that a boarding school education is good for children because it teaches them to have confidence in themselves. In a boarding school they can learn to be more independent of themselves and less dependent on their parents.
W:But not every child can afford to go to a private school. My nephew only went to his local state school and he's just been awarded the scholarship to study classics at Cambridge.
M:Anyway a private school is more innovative and open-minded in teaching children to learn. You will get the value of your money and it's worthwhile.
W:Still I don't know what I will do with my little boy next year. I don't want him to go to that big new school. The children of all the common people in the area go there.
M:Well they are closing all the old schools. If you don't like the new state school you will just have to pay to send him to a private school, won't you?
