Don’t you think | I like the idea | I quite fancy | I’d rather | is a better option | OK, I agree | Sorry, but I don’t think | that’s settled | we need to make | would be fun

Lily What do you think we should do for Tamara’s birthday? I think bowling 1              . We could go to that new bowling alley next to the cinema.

Ben 2                 it would be difficult to get to? It’s quite far from the train station. 3                 of rollerblading. We can hire rollerblades at the Queen Mary Park. It’ll be really cool.

Lily 4                          that’s a very good idea. What if the weather’s bad? I think an indoor activity 5                    than an outdoor activity at this time of year.

Ben OK, well, 6               ice skating. Have you been to the ice rink at the leisure centre?

Lily No, I haven’t. 7            go ice skating than rollerblading. But the ice rink is quite expensive.

Ben Look, 8                 a decision. I know the ice rink is expensive, but it is Tamara’s birthday. It’s easy to get to and it’s indoors.

Lily 9             . Let’s go ice skating.

Ben Great, 10                then. I’ll book it this afternoon.

I think karting is a better option because it looks more fun.       

In general, the first activity would be better.
