. Do ex.5 p.36. Read and choose the correct answers. (R = Ross, S = Sophie) R Hi, Sophie. What are you doing?
S Oh, I have to write this essay for school. What I’d do if I was president, and why.
R Oh yes. Have you had any ideas?
R What kind of tax?
S A tax on people who don’t recycle their rubbish.
R Mmm. I suppose you’re right.
S What would you do if you were president then, Ross?
R Ooh. If I was president, I’d do a lot of things. Build better schools for a start.
S What do you mean by better schools?
R Well, more comfortable classrooms, for example. If classrooms were more comfortable, people would be happier at school.
S OK. What else?
R Erm, let me think – I would raise the price of petrol.
S Petrol? Why?
R Because if petrol was more expensive, people wouldn’t use cars.
S And what good would that do?
R Well, it would encourage people to use public transport, and then we wouldn’t have so much noise and pollution.
S Right. Sounds like you’ve thought about this. I can use some of those ideas in my essay, thanks. Are you sure you don’t
want a career in politics, Ross? If you were a politician, I’d vote for you.
R Mmm. President Ross Taylor. Nice idea
