Elementary ‐ Upper‐Intermediate ‐ Protest!
(D0018)
A: This is Action 5 News reporter Sarah O’Connell
reporting live from Washington, D. C. where a protest has
broken out. Thousands of angry citizens are protesting
against the proposed bailout of the auto manufacturing
industry! Sir, sir, Sarah O’Connell, Action 5 news. Can
you tell us what’s happening?
B: Yeah, yeah, we’re here because we feel this is an
injustice! The financial irresponsibility of big business has
to stop! We’re there to show the government that we don’t
like the way that they’re spending our tax dollars!
A: Sir but what exactly is making everyone so angry?
B: It’s an absolute outrage, Sarah, the US government
wants to give 25 billion dollars of taxpayers’ money to the
auto industry. These are companies that have been
mismanaged and are now nearly bankrupt.
A: I see. But, many supporters of the bailout argue that it
could help save the jobs of millions of hardworking
Americans.
B: That maybe true, and I for one don’t want to see anyone
lose their job, but how can these CEOs ask for a bailout
when they’re making millions of dollars? And then, they
have the nerve to fly to Washington in private jets! This
costs hundreds of thousands of dollars! And they’re asking
for money! That is just not right!
A: Good point. This is Sarah O’Connell reporting live
from Washington D. C., back to you, Tom.
