A: Shall we start with the sports hall? I think it's a great idea because students could do sport even when it's raining. B: Maybe, but it would be very expensive. What about healthier food in the canteen? Everyone eats there every day. A: That's true. I think that would help a lot of students. And cooking classes are useful too, because you learn skills for life. B: I agree. The quiet room is a good idea for stress before exams, but I'm not sure many people would use it. A: And a walking club? I don't think many teenagers would join. B: Probably not. So, which is best? A: I think the healthier food. B: Yes, me too. It helps everybody.

A: OK, let's talk about the beach first. I think it's a great idea if the weather is good – it's cheap and relaxing. B: Yes, but what if it rains? A meal in a restaurant is safer. A: True, but restaurants can be expensive for students. What do you think about the concert? B: It could be fun, but not everyone likes the same music. The camping trip sounds exciting, though. A: I agree, but some parents might not let them go. B: And a party at home? That's easy to organise. A: Yes. And everyone can come. So which is most enjoyable? B: Maybe the party – everyone can join in. A: OK, let's choose the party.

A: Let's start with the laptop. I think that's really useful, because she'll need it for her studies. B: Yes, I agree. And she can talk to her family on it, too. What about the photos? A: They're nice, but she can keep photos on her phone. They aren't really necessary. B: That's true. What do you think about the warm coat? A: It depends on the country. If it's somewhere cold, she'll need one. But she could buy one there. B: Good point. The dictionary isn't very useful now – she can use an app. And the guitar is too big for one suitcase. A: So, which is the most useful? B: I think the laptop. A: Yes, I agree. The laptop.
