Exchange opinions

Lluís: Hi, William. Have you seen these?

William: No, what are they?

Lluís: They're posters for an anti-drugs campaign. All the students in the school have to say which one's best, and why.

William: Let's see. Mmm. What do you think?

Lluís: I can't really decide, but I suppose the one on the right has got a clearer message. Do you agree?

William: Well, yes and no. It's clear, but it isn't very effective.

Lluís: Why's that?

William: Well, I reckon you should be positive. For me, the one on the right is trying to be scary.

Lluís: Mmm. You might be right there.

William: Mmm. I'm not convinced.

Tis: Don't you think it's interesting?

William: Er, sort of, but I'm not sure about the face - it's a bit mad.

Tis: Oh, come on! It isn't that bad. It's really colorful. It's good to have a new picture, anyway.

William: No, I don't fancy that.

Tis: Here you are. You might prefer this.

William: What's that? Mission to Planet Q? No, I'm not a big fan of science fiction. I'd prefer a comedy.
