女２：そうよねー、くじ引きにする？
男：えー！それで、もしおれになったら困るよー。
女２：そうよねー、上田君には任せられないよねー。
女１：前に、名簿順でやろうって決めたよね。でも、伊藤さんになってから、ずっと彼女がやるって言ってくれて…。やっぱり、名簿順っていうのがいいんじゃない？
女２：そうね…それが一番公平かも。

Three students are talking about the group’s accountant.
Woman 1: We have to decide a new accountant.
Woman 2: Yeah, how do we decide?
Man: Shouldn’t it be good to leave it to someone who wants to do?
Woman 1: Someone who wants to do, I wonder if there is such a person. Because it’s a tough job.
Woman 2: That’s right, how about drawing lots?
Man: Eh! If I am chosen, I will be in trouble.
Woman 2: That’s right, we can’t leave it to Ueda.
Woman 1: We decided with a list of names before, didn’t we? But after Ms. Ito was chosen, everyone always told me that she would do it… After all, isn’t it better to decide with a list of names?
Woman 2: That’s right… It might be the fairest.
Woman 1: Is it?
Man: Hey, I’m next to Ms. Ito…
Woman 1, 2: Hahaha. Do your best!

Exercise format: Consensus
In order to understand and do this form of exercise effectively, you can apply the following steps:
1. Catch the topic and the question :
The situation taking place here is:
学生3人が、グループの会計係について話しています。
Three students are talking about the group’s accountant.
The question is:
次の係は、どうやって決めますか。
How do they decide the next accountant?
2. Note the main ideas:
You need to note down the important key words that relating to the topic of the talking, each person’s idea and the opinion of others about that idea (to agree/to object).
やりたい人 -> そんな人いるかなあ ?
くじ引き -> もしおれになったら困るよ
名簿順 -> 一番公平
3. Choosing the answer:
Answer: 3. 名簿の順番で決める
The first idea is to leave someone who wants to become the next accountant (やりたい人にやってもらう). Then the woman said [そんな人いるかなあ。大変な仕事だし] (I wonder if there is such a person. Because it’s a tough job.)
The next idea is to draw lots (くじ引き). Then the man said [もしおれになったら困るよ] (If I am chosen, I will be in trouble.)
The next idea is to decide with a list of names (名簿順). This idea was agreed by the other woman (she said that: それが一番公平かも (It might be the fairest.)
