Thank you. B) Agree = 2, Disagree = 2 Conclusion: In conclusion, we were unable to make a solid decision because SOME OF US stongly believe that the best choice is __________ because _______________________________________________ while THE REST OF US think that giving him _______________ is the most useful because _________________ ___________________________________________. Thank you. C) All Disagree Conclusion: In a nutshell, we were unable to come to an agreement on which of the four options is the best choice. It seems ALL OF US strongly believe in our own points so as we have run out of time, we think that students should learn new things by doing a part-time job, travelling, taking a part-time course or doing volunteer work. Thank you.
