    who th in k that it’s a way of providing a free w orkforce by stealth. In fact, I th in k it is fa ir to say 
    that this scheme w ill not see any renewed interest because of these criticism s.
    Lastly, the scheme that there has been a lot of ta lk about is the outward bound activities courses
    or OBAC fo r short. This has been successful in many other countries, such as Canada, Mexico 
    and Brazil. The activity courses give young people a chance to get out into the countryside and 
    enjoy nature. As a result of this, they also give teens a chance to learn life sk ills and experience 
    adventure on a broader scale.

    How has the place you live in changed recently?
    Well, in my city there is a lot more tra ffic than there used to be. This is because 
    of the new business centre, which has brought a lot more people to the city fo r 
    w ork. This has made the city ric h e r than it was. In fact th a t’s the m ost significant 
    difference - the city is not as poor as it was 10 years ago.
    So, you're studying here in Sydney. How is your town or city different from Sydney? 
    Mm, there are quite a few differences such as the shop opening hours - the shops 
    in Tokyo stay open much la te r than those here in Sydney. Then there's the tra n sp o rt 
    system w hich is more e fficient and convenient. But the w eather is the same as here 
    in Australia.
    Is it a good place to live?
    Yes, it's really nice. I th in k it ’s considerably bette r than oth e r cities in my country 
    because it’s more m odern. It’s also got a lot of parks which I really like and this 
    means that it ’s not nearly as crowded as some places.
    I th in k our presentation should focus on why living in the countryside has become 
    more attractive to fam ilies nowadays than in the past.
    I’m not so sure. Although the statistics Professor Davies showed us in the lecture 
    gave the im pression that there are more fa m ilie s moving to the country now than 
    at any tim e during the last 20 years, he also m entioned that there aren’t as many 
    available houses in suburban areas so many fam ilies don't have as much choice as 
    before.
    Yes, Suzanne, you're right. Perhaps that's actually more im portant. People th in k 
    that the same housing stock exists as in the past, but that's not true. How about 
    we focus our presentation on the fact that the choice of location fo r fam ilies is not 
    as wide as during the 1980s and this is w hat is affecting the trend of moving to the 
    countryside.
    Okay. I th in k you’ve thought about the presentation a lot more clearly than me. 
    Thanks.
    I th in k H elen’s right. We w ant Professor Davies to th in k that we have done as much 
    research fo r the presentation as we could and not only used the reading list.
    Yes, you’re right. Otherwise our fin a l grade w on ’t be nearly as good as our last 
    presentation - so we need to read as w idely as possible.
