Set 15
| C | Dialogue | Skill tested |
| A | Let¡¦s get started. | Staring |
| A | Since we have a start a new project working with local hospital or other healthcare institution, we are now going to discuss what types of projects should we bring out and the pros and cons of each option. | Stating the
present situation Introduction |
| A | I think we can have a visit to the elderly home. It is because they have contributed a lot to the society when they were young and so it¡¦s our time to do something for them now. | Raising a point Explanation |
| B | Yeah. I agree with you. And Ssince many of them have health problem, say, movement problems and elderly Parkinson¡¦s problem. So we can help them to have meals. | Agreeing Suggestion |
| D | Yes. And we can also take them out for a walk since it¡¦s good to their health and they can also get a chance to exercise. | Agreeing Suggestion |
| C | Mmm¡KI think we can also offer a Chinese Opera performance for them. | Suggestion |
| B | But who will be the actors and actress? | Raising a question |
| A | We can do that by ourselves. I know it may be tough for us but it can show how much we care them. | Explanation |
| D | Yes. I think actually they are not aimed to count the quality of the performance but they care whether there is someone to take care of them. | Agreeing Further elaboration |
| C | Yes. Sometimes they just act like a child who wants people to talk with them, play with them and the most important is to concern about them. | Agreeing Further elaboration |
| B | Well, if it¡¦s possible, we can offer a body check for them too. | Suggestion |
| C | How? | Raising a question |
| B | See whether we can ask the medical authority to provide a free body check for them. | Explanation |
| A | Ok then. Apart from visiting the elderly, we can go to the hospital to visit the child patients too also. | Transition Raise a point |
| C | Yes. We can hold some activities for them and give them gifts. | Agreeing Suggestion |
| D | What kind of gifts should we give? Snacks? | Clarifying |
| A | No. Since we don¡¦t know whether they can eat snacks or not, we¡¦d better use other kinds of gift instead of snacks. | Explaining |
| C | I think we can give them stationary and dolls as they can play with the doll when they get bored or they can use the color pens to draw pictures. | Suggestion |
| B | Great. We can hold them a magic show and we can have some simple magic with them. | Agreeing Suggestion |
| C | And we can also sing some cartoon songs for them, say, Packet Monster; it¡¦s a popular cartoon in most of the Asian countries y and USA. | Suggestion |
| D | Ok. So do you guys have any other suggestions except going to the elderly home and hospital? | Raising a question |
| A | I think the mentally handicapped people who stay in the hospital also need our care. | Explaining |
| B | Yes. We always ignore this kind of people as people always think that they have a strange out-looking and they may attack us. | Agreeing Further elaboration |
| A | Yes. It is because people always confused the people with psychological problem is as same as the mentally handicapped people. Actually they¡¦re just the same with us except their IQ is lower than normal people. | Agreeing Further elaboration |
| D | Yes. Once I visited the mentally handicapped children in a hospital two years ago, they are all very kind and their favorite drinking is Vita Milk. And so we can buy them some if we really decide to go there. | Agreeing Sharing experience |
| B | Good. We can play with them and help them to have meals too. | Agreeing |
| A | Well, since we¡¦ve made 3 options already, should we discuss the pros and cons of each option now? | Conclusion Transition |
| C | Ok. | Agreeing |
| B | For visiting the elderly home, I think the first problem that we should face is the communication problem. | Explaining |
| A | Yes. Some of the elderly may have their own accent that we may not understand. | Agreeing Explaining |
| D | Yes. And sometimes they may speak too softly and murmur and make us confused what they¡¦re talking about. | Further elaboration |
| C | Right. Some of them have hearing problems , too also. So when we talk with them, we should speak louder and be tolerance. | Suggestion |
| B | For the children patients that in the hospital, some of them may lose temper, as they¡¦re ill and they may not know how to control themselves. They may easily release their anger to the others. | Transition Explaining |
| A | And so we should always keep them happy. When they¡¦re sad, we should show our concern to them. I think they may realize it we¡¦re good for them. | Suggestion |
| D | Well, for the mentally handicapped people, I think the main problem is also the communication problem. Since their IQ is lower than the normal people, many of them usually can¡¦t give you feedback when you ask them questions or talk with them. | Transition Explaining |
| C | Yes. And even they answer you, what they talk is not what you ask. So we have to be patience for them. It may be boring but that what we should do. | Elaboration |
| B | But we may get benefits of visiting these kinds of people. For the elderly, since they have rich life experience, we can know how they strike for their life and ideal, how they handle stuff¡Ketc. | Transition Explaining |
| A | And it may also arouse us to take care of elderly. Aging population is becoming serious in Hong Kong. However, some people treat the elderly very badly as they think old people is a burden for them. But actually they have their lovely side. We shouldn¡¦t be too critical. | Further elaboration |
| D | For visiting the patients, it makes us stronger for how to treasure our life. | Transition Explaining |
| C | Yes. We should feel lucky that we didn¡¦t get this kind of illness. And every time when we see them how they strike for their life from death, it will make us nothing can¡¦t be solved. So we shouldn¡¦t end up our life so easily. | Agreeing Further elaboration |
