Work with a partner. You are Thu, Tam and Kim, and you are awarded a scholarship of US$2,000 to attend an English language summer course abroad. Try to persuade your partner to attend the school you would like to go to. The expressions in the box may help you.
Example:
I think we should go to the Seattle School of English in the USA. You can stay with Vietnamese friends.
I disagree because we can’t practice speaking English with native speakers.
Why don’t we go to the Brighton Language Center in the United Kingdom? If we go there, we can live in a dormitory on campus.
But the course is too expensive.
It costs US$2,000.
What do you think about the English in Australia?
I think it’s not comfortable to live with foreigners .
