Student A: You want your school to give its unwanted food to homeless people. Present your argument to Student B.
Student B: Listen to Student A. You're not convinced — you think it will be very difficult to organise. Respond with questions.
Student A: Hi, there. Would you mind helping me with a survey?
Student B: What's it about?
Student A: It’s about giving unwanted food to the homeless. I believe our school could donate its leftover food to homeless people instead of throwing it away and I want the school to make it necessary.
Student B: But how can we make this happen? Do you have any ideas on how we can get started?
Student A: We can start by talking to the school administration and cafeteria staff to see if they would be willing to partner with a local organization that works with the homeless.
Student B: But won't this perhaps be too difficult to organise?
Student A: The main reason for it is to reduce food waste and help those in need. And as for safety, we could make sure that the food is still within its expiration date and properly stored. It might need a lot of work, but it’s definitely worth the effort.
Student B: I suppose you're right. I'm willing to help out.
