Sarah

What do you think about the new reform, Mike?

Mike

I don’t agree with it at all.

Sarah

I’m not happy about it either. I mean, who has 

time to do all of that assessment and evaluation

at the end of the day?

Mike

Exactly. I’d rather be planning what I’m going to 

do in class the next day than filling out all that 

paperwork. 

Sarah

I know. It’s going to take ages. Oh well, I don’t 

suppose there’s anything we can do about it. 

Mike

Haven’t you heard about the demonstration?

Sarah

No …

Mike

There’s a demonstration against the new reform

next weekend. I’m going and some of our 

colleagues are going, too. You should come.
