Hello, everyone.
Students:
Good morning, Miss.
Miss Carol:
Where's Debbie?
Joel:
No idea.
Miss Carol:
Well, never mind. Let's begin. Today, you're starting the Community Award scheme.
Joel:
Today?
Miss Carol:
That's right, Joel. Today. Ah, Debbie.
Debbie:
Sorry I'm late, Miss.
Miss Carol:
Never mind. Sit down, please. I'm explaining your first Community Award task.
Pete:
What are we doing, Miss?
Miss Carol:
Group one – Joel, Pete, Jess, and Debbie – you're visiting an old people's home called Sunny Bank.
Debbie:
Old people?
Miss Carol:
Group two – Sophie, Adam, Kylie, and—
Debbie:
What do you do with old people? What do you even say to them?
Jess:
"Hello" is a good start.
Joel:
Old people like music. And I play the guitar.
Jess:
You're joking, right?
Joel:
No, really. I do.
Jess:
I know you play the guitar, Joel. But do old people actually want to listen to you?
Pete:
My grandma likes it when people read to her.
Debbie:
Do we really have to do this?
(At Sunny Bank – the old people's home)

Every day? No idea. But right now... they're playing cards, reading the paper...

Sleeping!

Hi, I'm Debbie.

Nice to meet you, Debbie. My name’s Lily. Sit down. Would you like some juice?
Debbie:
Oh, um... yeah.
Lily:
Excuse me, Mary. Can I have some juice for my guest?
Debbie:
Thanks.
Lily:
Now, tell me about yourself.
Debbie:
Like what? I'm not that interesting, really.
Lily:
Nonsense! That bracelet you're wearing is lovely.
Debbie:
This? You like it?
Lily:
Yes! It’s beautiful. Do you like clothes and fashion?
Debbie:
Yeah, a lot!
Lily:
How nice! So do I!
Pete:
Talking to old people is interesting… but it’s hard work.
Debbie:
I'm coming back next week.
Joel:
What?! But you were the one who—
Debbie:
I know. But Lily's actually really cool. When she was younger, she was a fashion designer. I think I like the Community Award after all!
