CONVERSATION
-Lili: I am very preoccupied by the rate of unemployment in our country.
-Justin: So am I…but, by the time I get to trading, I hope things will have
changed.
-Lili: What do you think about our new President?
-Justin: I think he is too soft and I am very disappointed. He had said he
would do things for us but…I don’t see any changes. Do you?
-Lili: Neither do I. My mother is fed up with working to pay her charges
and taxes only and disappointed to see that nothing is done for us. For
example, she was expecting the government to settle actions such as a
kind of ‘citizen services’ in the idea of the old ‘military service’ in order to
make us all stand up and do things instead of staying in bed. Would you
agree with that?
-Justin: Might be good…as long as we get trained to learn to do things
and get paid for it!
QUESTION ABOUT THE TEXT
-What is the idea suggested by Lili’s Mum to make youths get up in
