Pupil : Good morning Sir, may I speak to you ?
Headmaster: Yes , come in . What is it ?
P : I am here, as a delegate of my schoolmates .We would like to discuss some of the rules of this school .
H: Which ones ?
P: First ; we would like to be allowed to bring our mobile phones and use them when we are not in a classroom
H: I have to say no , unfortunately , this point has been already discussed .
What else ?
P: We would like to be allowed to leave the school for an hour or so when we have no lessons or when a teacher does not come
H: Again I say no, you have many rooms in the school and a big park also ; there is no reason to leave the school .
P: The third point is : could we be allowed to smoke outside, in the park ?
H: Definitely not ! smoking is bad for health and in the hot season a match could set fire to the trees ans bushes of the park .Is that all ?
P: No , there is a last demand. The school gate opens from 7h to 8h and then is closed until 12h .So, when we are a few minutes late we miss all the morning
periods . Could you not left the gate opened until 8h 15' ?
H: My dear child , you must learn to be punctual, but as I cannot say 'no' to all your demands , I will give order for the gate to be left opened until 8h05' .
Is that allright ?
P: Well, yes ,thank you sir.
