LISTENING 2.09
Examiner Do you think that people who call the emergency services without a good reason should be punished?
Student Let me see. I’d have to give that some thought. Personally, I think it depends. I believe that some people should be punished, but not everyone.
Examiner Can you explain why?
Student Well, as I see it, it depends on why they made the call. If they are deliberately wasting the emergency services’ time, then I believe that they should be punished, maybe with a fine. But if it was a genuine mistake or the person was confused in some way, it would be wrong to punish them. So, all things considered, you’d have to look at each unnecessary call individually.
