Scandal, Rally, Petition


Dialogue:

Craig: Hello class! Today we are going to take part in a rally against high tuition fees!

Class: Craig, we don’t want to be part of a rally. We think that signing a petition is more effective and less threatening.

Craig: Well, I don’t want to start a scandal...I’m just saying that we come together for the purpose of lowering the tuition fees.

Class: Listen Craig, we don’t want tuition fees lowered. We like high tuition fees!

Craig: Yeah, you’re right..me too, sorry...
