CONVERSATIONAL FORMULAS III

1. Agreement, partial agreement, etc.

Mr. Hardy: I used to think that children should be brought up and educated at

home until they start school, but I’ve changed my mind over the last few years. In my

opinion, nursery education in Britain should be greatly expanded and integrated into

the whole education system.

Mrs. Craig: I agree with you. Children who attend a nursery find it easier to fit

into the routine of school life.

Mrs. Hughes: I quite agree. They’ve got used to playing and working in a larger

group.

Mr. Hardy: Precisely. They’ve already learned the elements of discipline and

self-discipline which are essential at school.

Mrs. Craig: That’s true. Quite a lot of children who are only used to being at

home and playing in the street find it difficult to settle down at school.

Mrs. Hughes: That’s just it. I think more or less every child would benefit from

attending a nursery.

Mr. Hardy: So do I. In fact I hope some form of attendance at nursery will be

compulsory some day.

Mrs. Craig: I couldn’t agree more.
