Question

2. a) Read the dialogue between Aigul and Tom and answer the questions.
a) Why does Aigul want to go in for sport?
b) Does Tom like Aigul's decision?
Tom: Hiya!
Aigul: Hi! The door's open!
Tom: Here, I remembered to bring you my notebook. And what are
you doing?
Aigul: I'm surfing the Internet and trying to choose what sport to go
in for.
Tom: I thought you were always interested in dancing, art and
drawing, but not sports. Why? Maybe because of their nice
uniforms?
фAigul: Why do you think that girls always think about how they look
and nothing else?
Tom: Ok, I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. I didn't mean to. So...
I noticed that you're looking at the martial arts mostly. Not
gymnastics or athletics, which I think are more suitable for
girls. Why?
Aigul: Last time, when we were talking about different villains and
bullies, I decided to learn how to defend myself. I think it's
very important nowadays.
Tom: You want to defend yourself? I've always thought that boys
must defend girls, mustn't they?
Aigul: Yes, you're right. But, unfortunately, not every boy can
defend himself! And more than that, there are some boys who
want to bully others, and girls in particular! That's why I
think every girl must be able to defend herself.
Tom: Yes, you must be right then. Just think twice before you've
made your choice about the sport to do. I don't think that
girls are any good at sports like boxing, for example. It's too
traumatic. And girls always worry about their appearance.
Aigul: Tom, again? Let girls decide what is good and what is not for
them by themselves.
Tom: OK, OK, I give up. I'll also go in for sport then, and we'll be
able to defend each other!
2. b) Aigul says, "every girl must be able to defend herself.” Do you
agree with her? Why? Discuss with your partner.
