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

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

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

Hojin: Yuri, you should look at this topic from a different viewpoint. Many different kinds of students come together in boarding schools and they have to work together ①to make each other ②happily. In boarding schools, children learn ③how to get 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 ②friends like they ③are in real life. Students may all be the same gender, or they might be from the same religion or the same part of society. They won’'t have the opportunity ④to meet people who have ⑤significantly different thoughts and experiences.

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

Yuri: Well, ①spending all your time at school ②mean that the only people you get ③to talk to are the 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 won't get a chance ⑤to talk to many kinds of people.

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

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

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