Election & Voting

Hey, have you decided how you're going to vote?

No, I haven't.

I don't like any of the?candidates.

So you aren't going to vote?

Hemmmm, I don't know, probably not.

It seems like a waste of time.

What are the chances that he is going to vote? unlikely

Really?

Why do you think it's a waste of time?

Have you listened to any of?their?speeches?

Yes, I have, and I agree that the speeches aren't very good.

Exactly.

I can't believe anything they say.

They are just saying what they think we want to hear.

Sure they wanna get?elected.

I admit that the system isn't perfect, but it's all we have.

Whether I vote or not won't make a difference.

It's all a show.

What system did she admit isn't perfect? How candidates are chosen and run for election.

Well, I think you should vote.

Do a little research about the candidates?

Have you?

Yes, I have.

I've looked into the backgrounds, and education.

How can that help?

For example, if they know something about science, it could help the government make better decisions about issues such as climate change.

Yes, that's a good point.

We need well educated people making decisions.

And I look to see what kind of people are supporting them.

She wants to elect people who are smart and well-educated.

What issues do you think are most important?

I guess for me, pollution, housing and taxes are important.

I want to know how the government plans to deal with these issues.

Yes, I agree with you.

Maybe I will vote, especially if we can get together and talk more about it.

What about dinner tomorrow night?

Sorry, I'm busy tomorrow night.

Oh, that's too bad.

Do you have any time in the next few days?

I'll take you to a nice restaurant.

Actually, I'm quite busy.

But I may have some time Sunday afternoon.

We could have lunch somewhere near the office.

Sure, that works for me.

I'll give you a call on Saturday, and we can?decide?the details, OK?

OK, I'll be looking forward to seeing which candidate you support.
