king: It is the horn that according to legend parted the sea, allowing the Goddess of the Ocean to cross the sea, sinking the continent of our ancestors. I wish to make a shrine in her honour, and keep it out of reach of those who might do ill with it.
merchant: The..the..the horn of the great seas!!! That horn is legendary! rumored that only one with a pure heart can use. One that would sacrifice themselves for the well being of others. To save those who could not save themselves. This is a grand piece to find! Thank you great king
king: And by carrying this scepter, any who are in my service are bound to assist, with their very lives if necessary. I fear that the fate of the horn and that of this world may be intertwined, though how I cannot say.

#Person1#: Lily, where do you like to eat?
#Person2#: Well, my favorite restaurant is the Knife and Talk. It's very near the city center. At lunch, it's full of office workers, but I like to go before that, in the middle of the morning. I go there and order big breakfast and take one of their newspapers and just relax for an hour or so. Their pancakes are delicious. They don't have a TV in there, which I love most. They just have some jazz music, very quiet. Nothing too loud. What's your favorite restaurant?
#Person1#: Well, it's just a very simple restaurant. There are only about 6 tables in there, a couple of waitresses wear ugly pink uniforms. But the food is great, very tasty and cheap too, which is important of course. There are some truck drivers sitting at the counter drinking coffee. And eating sausages every morning. I always have pancakes in the morning, and their fish pie for lunch. That restaurant has been open for many years. They say the actor James Dean eats there, sometimes, but I don't think that's true.

Sian Gwenllian AM: So will you be adding to those ?
Kirsty Williams AM: Adding is not necessarily—no not adding But for instance the children have given us some interesting feedback about what they feel really matters in those areas of learning and experience So they will be refined but not added to and then we will legislate for them and that had not been the original intention
Sian Gwenllian AM: Will they include mental health and wellbeing ?
Kirsty Williams AM: Well the area of learning and experience for wellbeing is already there and underneath that area of learning title there are the broad concepts of what matters what we believe matters in that area of learning and it is that that we will now actually put into the legislation Sorry I am not helping because I have not got them with me either to read them out
Lynne Neagle AM: They are in the annex to the paper Siân and obviously mental health is in there So just to clarify then that would mean that every school would have to teach mental health by law
Kirsty Williams AM: Yes because the what matters states very clearly the broad concepts in health and wellbeing It refers to both physical and mental health and we intend to legislate to ensure that the what matters statements are a set given in the system

Kirsty Williams AM explained that the area of learning and experience for well-being was already there, and what would be included was the things that matter in the area of learning, and it was going to be put into the legislation.

Archie: What, like in the design?
Edith: Yes. Like one of the baubles in the picture or something.
Archie: Sure, we can do that.
Edith: Although, if we do that, is it too much to have it inside as the signature?

#Person1#: How do you think the transport system in our city could be improved?
#Person2#: I think that the public transport system could be made simpler. I never know where the bus routes actually go. The routes seem to twist and turn rather than going roughly in a straight line.
#Person1#: I think we just need to build more roads. Then there would be more space for cars to drive and we'd have fewer traffic jams.
#Person2#: If we built more roads, people would just fill them with cars again. I think we should discourage people from using their cars.
#Person1#: How would you do that?
#Person2#: I think we should do a few things at once. Improving public transport would encourage people to use that. If we also charge people to use their cars in the city centre, they won't use their cars as much.
#Person1#: I don't know. I think it's unfair to make drivers pay more money. They already pay a lot of tax-petrol tax, for example.
#Person2#: I think that they should pay more tax. Look at the damage they cause to the environment and people's health by discharging all those exhaust fumes.
#Person1#: The air would certainly be cleaner if there were fewer cars being used in the city. The problem is that people will see it as reducing their freedom. It will be unpopular.
#Person2#: That's a good point. Car owners will probably be against it, but people who use public transport will be in favor of it.
|
#Person2# thinks the public transport system in their city could be made simpler and #Person1# thinks more roads should be built. #Person2# thinks people using cars should pay more since the environment is polluted, while #Person1# disagrees as people will see it as reducing their freedom.

#Person1#: Do you think our headmaster is going to build a new lab building?
#Person2#: I've no idea. He may have the plan. But he hasn't spoken to us teachers about it.
#Person1#: Do you think it possible that it will happen?

#Person2#: There may be some problems with it.
#Person1#: What's the problem then?
#Person2#: As far as I know, money is. It's not likely to be solved soon, I guess.

bat: I can fly ahead and see if there is. I fly rather quickly, and you can rest here at the tower. It's dark, but you can rest in the moss. It's at least soft.
villager: Thank you. I truly appreciate you helping us. By the way, how can you talk? Or is the weariness finally settling in?
bat: It's a long, sad story. I crossed the witch and she turned me into a bat. I used to be a man, like you, and I retained my voice.
villager: Oh my, is there any way to change you back?
bat: Sadly, no. Her kind sister tried. It appears I am stuck like this forever. Say- where is that camp supposed to be?
villager: That is too bad. The camp is said to be a day's walk or so to the north.
bat: Okay, so it should take me a little bit. Rest here and I will be back as quickly as I can!
villager: Okay, we shall stay here. Thank you very much for scouting it out for me.

knight: You're not allowed to speak that way

knight: Nay, I am still above you.
servant: Then you clean this mess! I'm going to tell the knight you were in my way and refused to let me do my work. I bet you would like to have a lavatory as luxurious as his. Maybe that is why you are so angry!
knight: I do not touch such things
servant: Then remove yourself from here and let me do my work. Go urinate outside and do as the bears poop in the woods. I will clean this place and be on my way.

Marketing: Well one of one of the thoughts that I had is can can this unit be be produced in a way that makes it upgradable ? You know like like a a sim card in a in a in a telephone You know is there a card in th can we make a card and so after
Industrial Designer: W we need we need we need s some more buttons if it would to work on some other stuff but
Marketing: Mmhmm but you follow what I am s I am s
Industrial Designer: We we w we could get another version of it that actually works But
Marketing: because if if we can make this unit upgradable then we are but then we talk about changing the warranty concept and everything but that is that was just an idea I had to me the only additions
Project Manager: the plus there is the the risk of making it unusable as well or making it less b because at the moment it is actually very straightforward to look at all the buttons you know what they do it is very simple and it just works Mm there is a risk of that
Marketing: Yep But anyway that is
|
The marketing suggested producing the controller in a way that makes it upgradable like a sim card in the telephone. However, the industrial designer argued that if the controller was to have other functions it would need more buttons and they should design another version instead. Also, the project manager pointed out there would be some risks of making it unusable or less usable.
