  6. And is this one going to be assessed?
  7. No, not this time round
  8. because it's the first one... you know.

  10. Well, Trevor, what are we going to include?
  11. Well, do you think we ought to give some historical background?
  12. Oh no, definitely not, we won't have time!
  13. OK...
  14. but I think we ought to say something about the geographical location
  15. cos not a lot of people know where the islands are.
  16. Yes, okay...
  17. I'll take notes, shall I?
  18. Yeah, that'll be a help.

  21. Shouldn't we say something about the economy,
  22. you know agricultural produce, minerals and so forth?
  23. Well, Dr White said we shouldn't go into that sort of detail.
  24. But it's pretty important when you think about it,
  25. you know, because it does influence the education system.

  38. Well, the most important thing is the overhead projector.
  39. No problem, we'll get that from the media room.
  40. Must remember to book it.
  41. Well... we'll need a map of course.
  42. Probably two... one of the islands... large scale.
  43. And one of West Africa.
  44. Well, the West African one is no problem.
  45. There's one in the Resources Room.
  46. Oh yeah, of course, the resources room;
  47. the islands are going to be more of a problem.
