Ameerah  : Let's move on to our discussion.
Wei Ping  : Wait... Wait... Wait... Sorry to interrupt, but may I know what is the topic we are going to discuss? Cause I skip lesson that day..
Yahya      : I though teacher had already said it two weeks ago? HMM.. I think you're dreaming in class.....
Ameerah  :OK2.... Actually teacher want us to discuss in a group and then record the conversation. Inside the conversation, we must use at least 15 phrases among the 300 ++ phrases in the book..
Wei Ping : That's funny. Now my brain are full of ideas..
Leng Wee : Great! Then share with us some of your ideas .
Wei Ping : Hahahaa... Ok. For example, "What is the differences between yours and her pencil box? The differences is just that yours is still in a good condition but her is so old already. What if we buy a new one for her birthday?"   Just a short sentences I already can insert 3 phrases, so I think  it is no problem for us to have 15 phrases in our conversation.

Yahya       : What if we start with brainstorming first. Because so far, only you have idea, but we haven’t, so we need ideas before conducting this project right?

Leng Wee: That’s sounds good to me. What about you guys?

All            : We wouldn’t be against it. Haha...

Wei Ping   : Hurmm.. Would you all prefer if I suggest that we made our discussion as the dialogue itself?

Ameerah   : Yeah, it’s worth.  I’m totally agree. If we do as Wei Ping said we wouldn’t have to burden our mind thinking about what topic should we having in front!

Yahya       : Wei Peing had come up with a brilliant idea. Waaaa..... You are so smart!

Wei Ping    : Please, don’t mention it.. Hahaha...

Yahya       : But could you go over it again? Heheee...  Mymind was wondering around just now and I didn’t catch up with what you just say.. Heee....

All              : Awhhhh....

Yahya        : Sorry.. Sorry, Sorry..

Leng Wee  : Wei ping just said that, should we used our discussion today as our dialogue. Did you get it now, YAHYA???

Yahya        : Yeah3x... Heehee...

Ameerah    : So it comes to this after all.. Hahahhaa...

Ameerah    : Don’t you see? We manage to come up with this idea, although we had pushed our mind to think about other topics. This is what we called as ‘Think out of the box.’

Yahya        : So, your point is you wanna say that we all are smart. Is it ?? Hahhhaa...

Ameerah    : You’ve hit the bull eye.. Hahahhhaa..

Wei Ping    : So its about time we closed this conversation..
