Activity two: Presentation
T: This time I will call a group to present your ideas in the front in the following turns: the unemployed person with children; the local shopkeeper; the owner of a fishing boat; the person who has just bought a cottage in Dolwyn Bay; someone from the oil company.
Sa: I totally agree to the plans. The establishment of an oil factory will provide more jobs. More job chances will give those who are unemployed more chances to work. As for me, I may find a job in the company and work again. The more employment we have, the better living conditions we enjoy.
Sb: I think the plan will work well. Business helps the development of our town. Nowadays more and more young people work in big cities, and our town will face the depression of economy. However, the oil factory will create more jobs and attract young people to work here.
Sc: I have always been in fishing industry. The oil factory will cause pollution and kill many sea creatures. It's a strike on fishing industry, and I may lose my job.
