(d) Act out the following dialogue in the school board meeting.

[Chairperson of King’ori Secondary School Board convenes a

meeting to discuss the expansion of the school library]

Chairperson: Hello, everyone! I can see that most of the members are
present. I believe we can begin. [...the meeting is declared
open and the chairperson continues speaking]. As you all
know, enrollment in our school has doubled this year, and
our school library is almost always overcrowded. We need
to address this issue as soon as possible. Members, do you
have any suggestions on what should be done? [Silence for
a while, then one member raises a hand.] Yes, Ms Chilo!
Ms Chilo: Thank you, Chairperson. I agree with you. I think there are
two possible ways to solve this problem. We could either add
an annex to the library or build a new, larger one, although
funds may be a challenge.
Ms Mati: Chairperson, I think we should first discuss the source of
funding.
This is key to the success of our mission.
Mr Lila: I beg to differ, Chairperson. Let’s not put the cart before the
horse. We should first decide on the type of building we want
and estimate the cost before looking for funds. Personally, I
would opt for a new, separate building because constructing
an annex would require cutting down trees and damaging the
gardens surrounding the existing building.
