Illustrative Dialogues
1. Peter speaks about Latin with his friend John.
Peter: What do you think of Latin, John?
John: I don't believe it will ever become a world language.
Peter: Why not? Lots of people are learning it.
John: Not compared with those who are doing real languages. Latin is too artificial. It is only for those who deal with medicine, law or languages.
Peter: You've got a point there. But on the other hand it's much easier to learn than other languages, much more systematic and logical.
John: That's certainly an advantage. But there's no incentive to learn it as long as nobody actually speaks it. You can't use it as a means of communication.
Peter: Still, I think it should be taught at school.
John: Do you really? In my opinion there are too many subjects on the school curriculum already.
2. David Bennett has a business meeting with his colleagues at the hospital.
Mr Bennett: So that's the proposed plan. Now may I ask for your
opinions about it, Mr Bull?
Mr Bull: Well, Mr Bennett, in my view it's excellent — just
the sort of thing to get the hospital moving again.
Miss Cole: Yes, that's exactly my opinion. And it's certainly
a great improvement on the previous one.
Mr Bennett: Yes, I agree, Miss Cole. A great improvement.
I hope it will encourage our colleagues to work more
efficiently.
