DIALOGUE-ONGOING ASSESSMENTS #9

Tuan Anh(TA): Hi Linh. Hi Linh, what are you guys going?

My Linh(ML): We are going to class, today we will have interesting lesson.

TA: Oh, which lesson?

Nhat Linh(NL): Today we reason about which country will be the world's largest economy next 10 years?

ML: Yes, of course.

TA: That’s interesting. So what idea you guys choose?

NL: I think American, however ML think China.

TA: Oh, Really? Why do you think it is American, NL?

NL: Yes, I think that because A is the world's largest economy, now so it’s difficult to change that next 10 years, as the economic growth of American is very stable. Moreover American is rehabilitating its economy fast after the global economic crisis.

TA: Good reason! And you, ML? Why is China? Why not American?

MY: That’s true American now is the world's largest economy and China is the second, however China will overcome American because China has a population of over 1.3 billion. So it has profuse manpower to develop its economy. And the unemployment of American rate 9.6% (as of 2010) higher than that of China rate 4.3%.

TA: It’s very good, ML. However, I regret, I agree with NL because do you think there are many problems arising from huge population of China, especially social security? It affects growth in economy. To American, it now is the world's largest economy. But American’s economy depend on Services Sector too much, it make up 73% GDP of American. So I don’t like it. Maybe it is weak point of American’s economy.

NL: Hey, I like your idea, that’s wonderful.

TA: Yes, thank you.

ML: Oh, no, I think it’s enjoyable, however I disagree it, and I will keep my opinion in class.

TA: Don’t worry about that. It’s not that in the next 10 years but 20 or 30 years later, China might be the world largest economy. So, good luck NL and ML.

ML&NL: Thank you, good bye

TA: BYE.

THE END.
