Question
Should grandparents look after their children? Use phrases from the language box and the ideas below to act out a dialogue similar to one in Ex. 1.
Answer
A: In my opinion, grandparents should look after their grandchildren because they are more trustworthy than other caretakers. Don't you agree?
B: That's true. They have a family tie to them so they care more about them.
A: Also, I think it would help parents financially because they wouldn't have to pay the grandparents for looking after the children.
B: That's correct. On the other hand, grandparents may spoil their grandchildren and let them have whatever they want. Don't you agree?
A: True, but grandparents may be quite old and they may not have the strength to take care of active children.
B: Of course, but I think grandparents can offer valuable advice to the younger generation.
A: That's true. Anyway, I think it may work for some families and not for others.
B: I totally agree.
