  16. Pergunta 16 de 18

    Which paragraph describes a disagreement and how it was solved?

    A When Margaret Ellis retired as a school science technician, she missed the satisfaction of fixing things. So she started a repair café in her local church hall. Once a month, volunteers with practical skills would mend whatever residents brought in, free of charge.

    B At first, most visitors arrived with broken toasters and lamps. Within a year, the volunteers were also repairing bicycles, clothes and even laptops. Margaret noticed that people rarely left as soon as their item was fixed. Instead, they stayed for tea and a chat, and some came back the following month to help.

    C Not everyone was pleased. A local electrical shop complained that the café was taking away its customers. Margaret responded by inviting the owner to run a stall at the café selling spare parts, and the shop soon reported higher sales.

    D Today the café has more than thirty volunteers. Margaret believes its real value is not the money people save, but the skills they learn. 'Every time someone watches a repair,' she says, 'they become a little less likely to throw the next broken thing away.'
