- Hello Mr Smith*, thank you for agreeing to meet us.

- Hello 3eme3, it is a pleasure to be able to help you.

- We would like to ask you a few questions. Well, we are trying to make our parents buy every pupil a mobile phone and laptop. In our opinion our life will become more simple if we have access to the richest source of information, that is to say the internet.

- I see. Well, it is an ambitious program. Laptop used to be very expensive.

- Yes but if we buy a lot of them, perhaps the shop will give us a discount.

- I agree.

- How did VIP use to communicate in the 1980's?

- People used to phone most of the time and they used to meet face to face. Now it is easier, with mobile phones we can be contacted at any time and if there is an emergency we know immediately.

- It is the same for our school. For example if a teacher is missing, the school can send us a message on our mobile phone and we can stay in bed and sleep more. The big advantage is that we are not tired when we are at school. About our claim for laptops, we can ask one pupil to write the lesson and then we all copy it. What do you think of our idea?

- Hummmmmm...I am not sure your arguments are very clear. You should ask yourself how laptops would help you learn faster and more efficiently.
