Practice Speaking: Summarize Group Discussion ID: #52882 Bringing Students' Own Tableware
Instructions
Narration: Three students are waiting in line at the campus canteen, chatting about the school's recent discussion on whether to allow students to bring their own tableware. Speaker 1: Hey, did you hear the canteen might let us bring our own bowls and chopsticks? I'm so for this! Every time I eat here, I use a disposable bowl, a pair of chopsticks, and a plastic spoon. If we bring our own tableware, we can cut down on so much waste. Speaker2: Totally agree with you! Disposable tableware is such a big problem here. Last semester, our environmental science class did a project we found that the canteen uses over 5,000 disposable bowls every day. Plus, my homemade lunchbox is way cleaner than disposable ones I always worry that the plastic bowls here aren't washed properly. Speaker3: Wait, is this really a good idea? I think sticking with the canteen's disposable tableware is better. First, not everyone will clean their own tableware properly. Last week, my roommate forgot her bowl and had to carry an empty one around all day; she said it was so annoying. Speaker 1: But the canteen could set up a hand-washing station near the entrance students can rinse their tableware before using it. It's not an all-or-nothing thing! I put a sticky note on my bag to remind me, and I've never forgotten it. Plus, cleaning the tableware is easy. Speaker2: Yeah, and the school could even encourage it by giving small rewards! Like, if you bring your own tableware, you get a 596 discount on your meal. And think about the environment all those plastic bowls take hundreds of years to decompose. Speaker3: Hmm, the discount and hand-washing station ideas make sense, but I'm still worried about space and breakage. Last month, I saw a student drop a glass bowl in the canteen it shattered all over the floor, and the canteen had to close that area for 20 minutes to clean it up. Speaker 1: Space isn't a problem most lunchboxes are the size of a small notebook, and you can tuck them next to your plate. As for breakage, you can buy plastic or silicone lunchboxes that don't shatter. Speaker2: I also think it teaches us good habits. When we bring our own tableware, we learn to be more responsible about reducing waste. That's a skill we wiII use even after graduation like bringing a reusable cup to coffee shops. Plus, it's a fun way to express ourselves. Speaker3: Okay, I didn't think about the reusable habits or the durable lunchbox options. Maybe we can try a trial first let students bring their own tableware for two weeks, and see how many people do it. If it works well, then make it a permanent rule.
