Tom: Hey Jane, have you heard about the SSEAYP program for young people?

Jane: No, what is it?

Tom: It's an exchange program where young people from Southeast Asian countries can participate and learn about each other's cultures.

Jane: That sounds interesting. What do you think is the most important skill or experience for SSEAYP participants to have?

Tom: Well, in my opinion, having good teamwork skills is the most important thing. What do you think?

Jane: Hmm, I see your point, but I think the most important skill is being able to speak English fluently. It's the working language of the program and without good English skills, it could be difficult to communicate with the other participants.

Tom: That's a good point, Jane. But I still think that good teamwork skills are essential because participants will need to work together to solve problems and complete tasks during the program.

Jane: I agree with you, Tom. Both English skills and teamwork skills are important for a successful SSEAYP experience.

Tom: Definitely. I think it would be a great opportunity for young people to learn new skills, make new friends, and broaden their horizons.
