Dialog: Multilingual radio

V: Hello, Agne! Long time no see. How are you?

A: Hello! I’m fine, thank you. How about you? Did you hear about our school new project about multilingual radio?

V: Good, good. Yes, I did. By the way, have you known that our class has to do a proposal project for this radio?

A: Yes, I have. And I also have some suggestions.

V: Ok. Share them with me.

A: First of all, I think that this radio could offer programs in as many languages as possible including Estonian and Japanese. What are your feelings about it?

V: That’s a valid point. But don’t you think that it would be better if radio play programs in our native language and in languages that we learn in school, because what’s the point of broadcasting programs in languages no one understand?!

A: Yes, I suppose so. But I think that playing programs in different languages than we are learning could inspire students to learn them on their own.

V: You may be right. What are your other suggestions?

A: The radio could play songs in different languages and provide short lessons. Don’t you think so?

V: Well, others might think that it would be better if radio play programs which would cover topics such as: ways of learning or tips for doing homework?

A: Okay, but don’t you think that music during breaks could help pupils to relax?

V: True, I’d never thought of that. But tips for doing homework is a good idea too, don’t you think so?

A: Yes, I do. How about your suggestions? Do you have anything in mind?

V: Perhaps we should interview teachers and other pupils about the most interesting activities and play it as suggestions what to do in free time?

A: I don’t entirely agree with that, because I think that our school radio should make programs in Lithuanian about the different languages and cultures of the world. Would you agree?

V: I’m not totally convinced, but it’s an interesting suggestion.  Ok, I had written down all of our thoughts. We’ll discuss about it later with rest of the class and maybe we will use them in our class proposal project.

A: Ok, I have to go to Biology class. See you later!

V: Bye, bye!
