Dialogue - Marcel Peña

Informal Dialogue Option B

Albert and Marta, during a break at school, are discussing if ICT must be a subject or not, giving their pros and cons.

Albert said in an imperative tone: ICT must be an important subject nowadays, come on, our kids are addicted to technology and we have to teach them.

Marta answer teasing Albert: I don’t agree with you because they aren’t addicted to technology they’re addicted to phones that’s a different thing.

Albert said yelling a little bit, showing he was offended: One thing is related with the other one. If you know how to manege technology, you can manage phones also. They are the same, aren’t they?

Marta answer confidently adding most of his arguments: First of all a phone is technology but must be showed apart because it’s different from any other technology. Then with a phone you can do more than work, there are many things more such as social media and also constant messages that can influence them.

Albert affirmed giving some reason to Marta: Well, I’m not too sure but, in my opinion we must teach them everything at the same time technology and phones because at the end they’re the same. One more theoretical and the other more subjective.

Marta added with an affectionate tone: We must find a balance between both. We have our research done, now we have to prepare the subjects’ project and then we have to do a test to prove if it’s useful.

Albert answer quite excited: Yes, I agree here but when are we going to test and how we’re going to do it? Are you sure about creating this new project, aren’t you?
