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.

② We're organizing a protest this weekend against the tax increase. If the government doesn't give a bailout to the auto manufacturing industry, all the factories will close. Officials are warning that a war could break out between Andorra and Samoa.

③ You're not going to give me this job, because I'm a woman. That is an injustice. The death of millions of starving children is an outrage. Bob, you really mismanage the project. I've been in love with you since the third grade, but I didn't have the nerve to tell you.
