| Note: This dialogue was written with two friends, Vanessa Carnegie and Belinda Jennings, during an English class after reading the dialogue "There was Once" by Margaret Atwood. I thought it would be an interesting addition to the things on my web page and that they should be noted. | ||||||||||||||||
| Person 1: "Eltham College is a private school...." Person 2: "Stop right there!!! Private schools are an unfair advantage to the upper middle class families who can afford to pay for the extra facilities." Person 1: "Eltham College is an independant school..." Person 2: "School is a broad term, it can be used to describe a ballet class or scuba diving instruction." Person 1: "Fine. Eltham College is an independant educational institution." Person 2: "Wait!! Isn't a College a place where you stay at university!? This is hardly a university, it has three year olds and a playground." Person 1: "The Eltham conglomeration of ELC, preparatory, junior, middle and senior groups is an independant educational institution." Person 2: "It's not even in Eltham!!" Person 1: "The independant educational institution is a conglomeration of ELC, preparatory, junior, middle and senior groups situated approximately 10km NE of Eltham but called Eltham before Research was inserted on the map." Person 2: "The! The! I'm sure it's not THE only independant educational institution in the area." Person 1: "An independant educational institution is a conglomeration of ELC, preparatory, junior, middle and senior groups situated approximately 10km NE of Eltham but given the title because it was established before Research was on the map." Person 2: "And that's another thing, institution sounds too much like a jail or military base." Person 1: "An independant educational facility is a conglomeration of ELC, preparatory, junior, middle and senior groups situated approximately 10km NE of Eltham but given the title because it was established before Research was on the map." Person 2/3: "No, no, no!! That's just too long-winded. You should just leave it as it was." |
