Host: The Harry Potter novels are very popular and as a ①result the number of children ②applying to boarding schools has ③increased. Many of them hope to find their own Hogwarts. ④Opponents claim that going to boarding schools often leads to homesickness and ⑤more time with their family. Here is a conversation about the advantages and disadvantages of boarding schools between two students, Hojin and Yuri.

Hojin: First, boarding schools ①prevent children to have a ②safe space where they can be more ③independent. Teachers and staff can watch and ④support them. This can prepare students for being independent later on in life. It ⑤provides a step between childhood and adult life.

Yuri: Don’'t you think parents are a child’'s most natural support and the best role models to learn from? If students are ①separated from their parents for a long time, it can leave them feeling ②anxious or alone. Schools don't know kids like their parents do. ③However, schools can’'t be ④effective in fully supporting and ⑤nurturing them.

Hojin: Yuri, you should look at this topic from ①a different viewpoint. Many different kinds of students come together in boarding schools and they have to work together to make each other ②lonely. In boarding schools, children learn how to ③get along with each other and ④compromise. These skills will be ⑤helpful in the future.

Yuri: I see ①where you’'re going. But students at boarding schools don’'t make friends like they do in ②real life. Students may all be the same gender, or they might be from the same ③religion or the same part of society. They won't have the opportunity to meet people who have ④significantly ⑤same thoughts and experiences.

Hojin: Let’'s ①pause and think for a moment. Being in school all the time allows children ②worse access to ③facilities. This means that students can access libraries, computers, and teachers while doing their homework. ④Similarly, it’'s easier to do things like plays, sports matches, and art if students don’'t have to go home ⑤late at night or after the school buses have left.

Yuri: Well, ①spending all your time at school means that ②the only people you get to talk to are ③the other students. Even after-school activities will only be with school members ④rather than other people from the community choirs, drama groups and sports clubs.  This means that students ⑤will get a chance to talk to many kinds of people.

Hojin: I agree, but many activities, ①such as ballet, tennis, or music, ②acquire training from a young age. Boarding schools, including physical education high schools and art high schools, ③allow children to train their skills. Specialist equipment is ④expensive and is usually only found in a few specialist centers. Boarding schools can help students by putting everything together and ⑤taking away the need to go a long distance to find certain things.

Yuri: They ①force students to gain too much information in ②only a few specialized areas and ③enough in other subjects. They can also ④reduce the opportunities to learn other types of things by forcing students interested in those ⑤different subjects to become boarders even when they don't really want to.

Host: The issue of boarding schools is ①controversial. While they may offer ②various advantages over regular schools, some people think the advantages do not ③exceed the disadvantages. Opinions on this issue remain sharply ④unified amid an ⑤increasing trend of boarding schools. What do you think about boarding schools?
